In India, a wide variety of land measurement units are used, and these often vary by region due to historical and cultural differences. Commonly used units include Acres, Hectares, Bigha, Biswa, Gaj, Cent, Ground, Katha, Decimal, and so on. Square Feet is used widely for smaller area measurements such as residential and commercial plots, while Acres and Hectares are typically used for larger parcels of land such as agricultural fields.
No, the statement is incorrect. The term square foot refers to a unit of area that equates to a square with sides of one foot in length. If you have a square that measures 12 feet by 12 feet, then you have an area of 144 square feet (12 feet x 12 feet), not 1 square foot. In essence, each foot of length contributes to the total area, so a space that is 12 feet by 12 feet is significantly larger than just 1 square foot.
