Yes, the appropriate metric unit for measuring the area of Saskatchewan would be square kilometers (km²). To find the answer, you would typically consult a reliable source that provides the area information for Saskatchewan. This could be an official government website, an atlas, or a reputable geographical database.

Once you have obtained the area value, it would likely be given in square kilometers. This is because square kilometers are commonly used as the unit for measuring the area of large land masses.
