What is an arpent used for historically?

Arpent is a historic French unit of length primarily used to measure land frontage and parcel dimensions in France and its colonies.

What kind of distances does a femtometer represent?

A femtometer is a unit equal to 10^-15 meters, used mostly for nuclear and subatomic scale distances.

Why convert arpent to femtometer?

This conversion helps relate large historical land measurements to extremely small distances often studied in nuclear physics, aiding interdisciplinary and educational understanding.
