A square meter (m²) is the SI-derived unit of area, precisely defined as the surface enclosed by a square whose sides each measure one meter, making it the foundational "building block" for all metric area calculations.
Because one meter equals 100 centimeters, a square meter contains 10 000 square centimeters and, by extension, 1 000 000 square millimeters, allowing easy up or down-scaling with powers of ten and preserving exact ratios across all metric prefixes.
In practice, the square meter is universally employed-from real-estate floorplans and architectural drawings to environmental land surveys—because its geometry-based definition is independent of artifacts or local standards and therefore remains consistent worldwide.
