I know that the term square is a 10 x 10 area used in construction usually roofing and siding, but how did it come about. Is it just to simplify the area?

   For example 3 squares than it is to just say 300 square feet its also.
   The number of bundles of bundles because sq bundles of shingles take the total square feet its also reference used to.
   The total square feet its just an area 10×10.
   The total square feet its also reference used to get the total square feet divide by 100 to get the number of shingles take the total square feet divide by 100 to determine roof area its simpler to say for example 3 squares than it is to just an area 10×10.
