Are
An are (symbol a, ) is a unit of
area, equal to 100
square metres (10 m × 10 m), used for measuring land area. It was defined by older forms of the
metric system, but is now outside of the modern
International System (SI). It is accepted, but not encouraged, for use with the SI.It is commonly used in many countries—in particular, in
French-,
Portuguese-,
Polish-
Dutch- and
German-speaking countries—to measure real estate; elsewhere, the square metre is usually used. The are is sometimes used in combination with the centiare, e.g. "10 ares 12 centiares" = 1012 m². Larger land areas are generally measured in
hectares. The
decare is commonly used in the former
Ottoman countries, usually under local names. Other
prefixes for multiples and submultiples of the are are not in common use. There are other local units which are exact multiples of the are, e.g. the
Thai rai, 16 a.
