What is a square pole?

A square pole, also called a square perch or square rod, is an imperial area unit equal to the area of a square one pole (rod) on each side, totaling 272.25 square feet or about 25.2929 square meters.

What does one square hectometer represent?

One square hectometer (hm²) is a metric unit representing the area of a square 100 meters on each side, equal to 10,000 square meters, which is the same as one hectare.

Why convert square poles to square hectometers?

Converting square poles to square hectometers helps translate historical imperial land measurements into modern metric units commonly used in agriculture, land management, and civil engineering.
