A square dekameter (dam²) is an SI-derived area unit equal to a square with 10 meters on each side, equivalent to 100 square meters.
-
Why does the varas conuqueras cuad unit vary in size?
-
The length of the vara differed regionally in Spanish-speaking areas, making varas conuqueras cuad a non-standardized and obsolete unit in modern metric practice.
-
In which fields is this conversion useful?
-
It is mainly used in historical cadastral mapping, land tenure research, archaeological land analysis, and legal cases involving colonial-era land records.
