    Legit not trying to be a pedantic asshole so apologies in advance but how would you write that without notation if you were trying to communicate it clearly via text.

      100 square meters = 100 m^2

      100 meters squared = (100 m)^2 = 10000 m^2

      Ideally, if you’re talking about area you’d want to make sure you stick to the form “square meters”.
