Converting Square Meters to Square Feet and Vice Versa
Understanding Area Conversions: m² and ft²
Converting between square meters (m²) and square feet (ft²) is a common requirement in many fields, including real estate, construction, and international trade. The square meter is the standard unit of area in the metric system, while the square foot is the standard in the US customary system.
The Conversion Formula
The relationship between these two units is based on the conversion between meters and feet.
- 1 meter ≈ 3.28084 feet
To find the conversion for area, we square this value:
(3.28084 ft/m)² ≈ 10.7639 ft²/m²
Therefore, the key formulas are:
- Square Meters to Square Feet: ft² = m² × 10.7639
- Square Feet to Square Meters: m² = ft² / 10.7639 (or ft² × 0.092903)
How to Use the Converter
This calculator allows for two-way conversion:
- Enter a value in the "Square Meters (m²)" field to see its equivalent in square feet.
- Alternatively, enter a value in the "Square Feet (ft²)" field to convert it to square meters.
- The other field will update automatically as you type, giving you an instant conversion.
Practical Examples
- Real Estate: An apartment listed as 80 m² in Europe is approximately 861 ft² (80 × 10.7639), a size more familiar to someone in the US.
- Construction: If you need to order 500 ft² of flooring from a European supplier who sells by the square meter, you would need about 46.5 m² (500 / 10.7639) of material.
- Gardening: A garden plot that is 10 m² is about 107.6 ft², helping you purchase the correct amount of soil or seeds.
