About Square Centimeters
A square centimeter (cm²) is a metric unit of area equal to a square with sides of one centimeter (10 mm × 10 mm). It is widely used for measuring moderate-sized surfaces like postage stamps, credit cards, or smartphone screens. A standard credit card has an area of about 46 cm². This unit is common in everyday crafts, school science, and smaller construction projects where precision matters but square meters would be too large.
About Townships
A township (twp) is a large survey unit used in the US Public Land Survey System, defined as a square with sides of 6 statute miles, giving exactly 36 square miles or approximately 93,240,000 m². Each township is subdivided into 36 one-square-mile sections of 640 acres each. The Township and Range system is how most US land west of Ohio was divided and sold; township numbers and names still appear in legal land descriptions, county records, and geographic placenames across the American Midwest and West.
