Unit Definition (square centimeter)
The square centimeter is the CGS unit of area. 1 cm2 equals 100 mm2, 10-4 m2, or approximately 0.155 000 3 in2. 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.
