M2 / Perche2 Units Definition
m2 (Square meter)
The square meter, also called meter squared, is the unit of area of the International Standardized System (SI). The symbol for square meter is m2. Less formally, the square meter is sometimes abbreviated to m2.1 square meter is equal to the area of a square whose sides measure 1 meter.
Square perche
A square perch (often shortened to just a perch) is a unit of measurement and is equal to 25.29285264 square metres. Confusingly, a perch (not the squared
variety) is also called a rod or pole because it’s based on a surveyor’s tool
measuring exactly 5½ yards or 16½ feet or ¼ of a surveyor’s chain. The perch or rod was helpful tool and measurement for a surveyor because it could be used to create a ‘perfect’ acre of 40 perches by 4 perches – remember 160 perches equals an acre.
