What about area?
Well, in America, we use football fields, so I presume Canada uses hockey rinks.
Depends on what you’re measuring. For housing we use square feet, for land we use acres and sometimes square km depending on context, most other things in my experience we just use dimensions instead (eg. 11x13 or something). If you have specific areas in mind I may be able to more precisely answer your question.
No, you answered well. I wanted the flow chart. :)
i don’t see area being discussed very often but when it is, it’s usually in hectares
