| Convert from hundred to square kilometer |
Unit Definition (hundred) The hundred is an old English unit of area equal to 100 hides (see above). This is roughly 12 000 acres, 5000 hectares, or 18.75 square miles. The hundred is approximately the area of a village with its associated fields, so the name "hundred" came to mean a minor division of a shire or county. This use carried over to the American colonies, where, for example, many of the early settlements in Virginia were called hundreds. Unit Definition (square kilometer) The square kilometer is a common metric unit of area. One square kilometer equals 100 hectares, 10E6 square meters, approximately 247.105 acres, or approximately 0.386 102 square mile.
