Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert square meters to square feet?
To convert square meters to square feet, multiply by 10.7639. For example, 50 m² = 50 × 10.7639 = 538.2 ft². Our converter handles this calculation instantly.
What's the difference between a hectare and an acre?
A hectare (10,000 m² or 2.471 acres) is a metric unit, while an acre (4,047 m²) is an imperial unit. Hectares are used worldwide, especially in agriculture, while acres are primarily used in the US, UK, and Commonwealth countries.
How many square feet are in an acre?
One acre equals exactly 43,560 square feet. This is a standard conversion used in land measurement, real estate, and agriculture.
Why do area calculations square the conversion factor?
When converting area, you multiply length by width. Since both dimensions change, the conversion factor gets squared. For example: 1 m = 3.28 ft, so 1 m² = 3.28 × 3.28 = 10.76 ft².
What's the easiest way to visualize an acre?
One acre is roughly the size of an American football field without the end zones (about 90% of the full field). It's equivalent to 4,047 square meters or 43,560 square feet.
