A "gry" is an old English measure for length, defined as 1/10 of a line, where "line" is another old English measure for length, defined as 1/12 inch. A common measure for length in the publishing business is a "point", defined as 1/72 inch. What is an area of 0.55 gry2 in terms of points squared (points2)?

Delete0.75gry²*(0.1)line²/1gry²*(1/12)².inch²/1 line²*(1)².point²/(1/72)².inch²
Delete= 0.75*0.11*1/144*5184
=0.27point²
