How to convert area units

Area conversions involve squared units, which means the conversion factor is the square of the length conversion factor. For example, since 1 foot = 0.3048 meters, 1 square foot = 0.3048² = 0.092903 square meters. This squaring relationship means area conversions produce very different numbers than length conversions.

To convert square feet to square meters, multiply by 0.092903. To convert square meters to square feet, multiply by 10.7639. For example, a 1,000 square foot apartment = 1,000 × 0.092903 = 92.9 square meters.

For land measurement, the most common units are acres (used in the US and UK) and hectares (used in metric countries). One hectare = 2.47105 acres, and one acre = 0.404686 hectares.
