Practical Use Cases
Real estate: Property listings in different countries use different units — m² in Europe and Asia, square feet in the US and UK, and acres or hectares for land. Agriculture: Farm plots, crop fields, and irrigation coverage are measured in acres (US) or hectares (international). Urban planning: City areas, parks, and zoning maps use km² or square miles depending on the country. Construction: Floor plans and room sizes are typically measured in m² or sq ft.
