the square measures mentiond above. If no unit is given, square meter
is implied. The metric unit of the number can be specified with the
number, or with option unit(), or both.

Options

unit(unit) is used to specify the metric unit of the
numbers provided. As unit, any of msq, a, h, ftsq, ydsq, acre, and
misq are allowed. Note that the metric unit can be also appended
directly to the numbers. However, if more than one number is
specified, option unit() might be easier to use. Note also that
any metric unit specified for one specific number overwrites the
unit-option for that number.
