About Ares
An are (a) is a metric unit of area equal to 100 square meters (10 m × 10 m). Though less commonly used today, it served as an intermediate unit between square meters and hectares in the metric system. One are equals 0.01 hectares or about 119.6 yd². It is still occasionally used in some European countries for measuring medium-sized land plots, gardens, and vineyards. The dekameter-squared (dam²) is another name for the same unit.
About Square Yards
A square yard (yd²) is an imperial unit of area equal to a square with sides of one yard (3 ft × 3 ft or 9 ft²). It is commonly used for measuring carpet, fabric, and concrete in construction projects. A queen-size mattress covers about 5 yd², and a typical driveway might require 30-50 yd² of concrete. This unit is particularly common in the textile, carpeting, and landscaping industries in imperial-system countries.
