Unit Definition (square)
The square is a traditional unit of area, often used for measuring roofing material, finished lumber, and other building materials. One square equals 100 square feet, 11.111 square yards, or about 9.290 square meters.

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.
