Conversion Formula:
| From: | To: |
The square meter to square feet conversion is used to convert area measurements from the metric system (square meters) to the imperial system (square feet). This conversion is commonly used in real estate, construction, and interior design.
The converter uses the conversion formula:
Where:
Explanation: One square meter equals approximately 10.764 square feet. This conversion factor is derived from the relationship between meters and feet (1 meter = 3.28084 feet, squared).
Details: Accurate area conversion is essential for international real estate transactions, construction projects involving both metric and imperial measurements, and understanding property sizes across different measurement systems.
Tips: Enter the area in square meters. The value must be a non-negative number. The converter will automatically calculate the equivalent area in square feet.
Q1: Why is the conversion factor 10.7639104?
A: This factor comes from squaring the conversion between meters and feet (1 meter = 3.28084 feet, so 1 m² = (3.28084)² ft² = 10.7639104 ft²).
Q2: How accurate is this conversion?
A: The conversion is mathematically exact based on the defined relationship between meters and feet. The calculator provides results with 6 decimal places for precision.
Q3: When would I need to convert square meters to square feet?
A: Common applications include international real estate comparisons, construction projects using imperial measurements, and understanding property sizes in countries that use different measurement systems.
Q4: Can I convert square feet back to square meters?
A: Yes, to convert square feet to square meters, divide the square footage by 10.7639104 (or multiply by 0.092903).
Q5: Are there any exceptions to this conversion?
A: The conversion is standard and applies to all area measurements. However, some industries may use slightly rounded conversion factors for simplicity.
