About Hectares and Square yards
Hectares (ha): Ten thousand square meters, or 100 m × 100 m; from the Greek hekaton meaning hundred (referring to the hundred-fold of an are, an obscure unit). Common uses: Land area in metric countries — agriculture, forestry, real estate (especially rural), and conservation.
Square yards (yd²): Nine square feet, or 0.836 m²; less commonly used than square feet but still appears in landscaping and some flooring. Common uses: Carpet and large-area flooring sales, athletic fields (football, soccer field dimensions), and some landscaping contexts.
