How to Convert Lot Sizes to Square Feet
Square feet (sq ft) is a common unit for measuring area, especially for residential properties and rooms. However, larger land parcels are often measured in acres or hectares. This guide explains how to convert these common land area units into square feet.
Key Conversion Factors
To convert other units to square feet, you need to know the basic conversion factors:
- 1 Acre = 43,560 square feet
- 1 Hectare = 10,000 square meters
- 1 Square Meter ≈ 10.7639 square feet
Converting Acres to Square Feet
This is the most common conversion for land in the United States. The formula is a direct multiplication:
Square Feet = Acres × 43,560
Example: A property is 2.5 acres.
2.5 acres × 43,560 = 108,900 sq ft
Converting Hectares to Square Feet
This conversion is a two-step process if you don't have the direct factor memorized. First, convert hectares to square meters, then square meters to square feet.
Step 1 (Hectares to Sq. Meters): Square Meters = Hectares × 10,000
Step 2 (Sq. Meters to Sq. Feet): Square Feet = Square Meters × 10.7639
Example: A park is 3 hectares.
Step 1: 3 ha × 10,000 = 30,000 sq m
Step 2: 30,000 sq m × 10.7639 = 322,917 sq ft
