1. What is Square Meter to Square Foot Conversion?

Square meter to square foot conversion is the process of converting area measurements from the metric system (square meters) to the imperial system (square feet). This conversion is essential for international real estate, construction, and interior design projects.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the conversion formula:

Where:

• \( SF \) — Square feet
• \( m² \) — Square meters
• \( 10.7639104 \) — Conversion factor (1 m² = 10.7639104 ft²)

Explanation: The conversion factor 10.7639104 is derived from the relationship between meters and feet (1 meter = 3.28084 feet), squared to account for area.

3. Importance of Area Conversion

Details: Accurate area conversion is crucial for international property transactions, architectural planning, construction projects, and interior design where different measurement systems are used.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the area in square meters. The value must be a positive number. The calculator will automatically compute the equivalent area in square feet.
