  2. Orders of magnitude (length) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(length)

    The decimetre (SI symbol: dm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 101 metres (⁠ 1 / 10m = 0.1 m). To help compare different orders of magnitude , this section lists lengths between 10 centimeters and 100 centimeters (101 meter and 1 meter).

  3. Reciprocal length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocal_length

    For example, the reciprocal centimetre, cm1, is an energy unit equal to the energy of a photon with a wavelength of 1 cm. That energy amounts to approximately 1.24 × 10 −4 eV or 1.986 × 10 −23 J. The energy is inversely proportional to the size of the unit of which the reciprocal is used, and is proportional to the number of ...

  4. Square metre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_metre

    Comparison of 1 square metre with some Imperial and metric units of area. The square metre (international spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures) or square meter (American spelling) is the unit of area in the International System of Units (SI) with symbol m 2. [1]

  5. Square root of a matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_root_of_a_matrix

    A matrix B is said to be a square root of A if the matrix product BB is equal to A. [1] Some authors use the name square root or the notation A 1/2 only for the specific case when A is positive semidefinite, to denote the unique matrix B that is positive semidefinite and such that BB = B T B = A (for real-valued matrices, where B T is the ...

  6. Dynamic rectangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_rectangle

    The root-3 rectangle is also called sixton, [6] and its short and longer sides are proportionally equivalent to the side and diameter of a hexagon. [7] Since 2 is the square root of 4, the root-4 rectangle has a proportion 1:2, which means that it is equivalent to two squares side-by-side. [7] The root-5 rectangle is related to the golden ratio ...

  7. Square number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_number

    If the number is of the form m5 where m represents the preceding digits, its square is n25 where n = m(m + 1) and represents digits before 25. For example, the square of 65 can be calculated by n = 6 × (6 + 1) = 42 which makes the square equal to 4225. If the number is of the form m0 where m represents the preceding digits, its square is n00 ...

  8. Circular mil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_mil

    1 circular mil is approximately equal to: 0.7854 square mils (1 square mil is about 1.273 circular mils) 7.854 × 10 −7 square inches (1 square inch is about 1.273 million circular mils) 5.067 × 1010 square metres; 5.067 × 10 −4 square millimetres; 506.7 μm 2; 1000 circular mils = 1 MCM or 1 kcmil, and is (approximately) equal to:

  9. Methods of computing square roots - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_of_computing...

    A method analogous to piece-wise linear approximation but using only arithmetic instead of algebraic equations, uses the multiplication tables in reverse: the square root of a number between 1 and 100 is between 1 and 10, so if we know 25 is a perfect square (5 × 5), and 36 is a perfect square (6 × 6), then the square root of a number greater than or equal to 25 but less than 36, begins with ...
