The conversion between square meters and square feet is essential for international measurements, particularly in real estate, construction, and interior design. One square meter equals approximately 10.7639 square feet.
The calculator uses the conversion formula:
Where:
Explanation: This conversion allows you to translate area measurements between the metric system (square meters) and imperial system (square feet).
Details: Accurate area conversion is crucial for international property comparisons, construction projects with mixed measurement systems, and understanding property sizes across different regions.
Tips: Enter the area in square meters. The value must be a positive number. The calculator will automatically convert it to square feet with precision to four decimal places.
Q1: Why is the conversion factor 10.7639?
A: This factor comes from the relationship between meters and feet (1 meter = 3.28084 feet), squared to account for area: (3.28084)^2 ≈ 10.7639.
Q2: How accurate is this conversion?
A: The conversion is mathematically precise. The calculator provides results with four decimal places for accuracy.
Q3: When would I need to convert square meters to square feet?
A: Common applications include international real estate transactions, architectural plans, interior design projects, and understanding property sizes in countries that use different measurement systems.
Q4: Are there any rounding considerations?
A: For most practical purposes, rounding to two decimal places is sufficient, though the calculator provides more precise results for specialized applications.
Q5: Can I convert square feet back to square meters?
A: Yes, to convert square feet to square meters, divide the square footage by 10.7639 (or multiply by approximately 0.0929).
