Conversion Formula:
| From: | To: |
The square feet to square meters conversion is used to convert area measurements from the imperial system (square feet) to the metric system (square meters). This conversion is essential in international real estate, construction, and various engineering applications.
The calculator uses the conversion formula:
Where:
Explanation: One square foot is equal to approximately 0.09290304 square meters. This conversion factor is derived from the relationship between feet and meters (1 foot = 0.3048 meters).
Details: Accurate area conversion is crucial for international property transactions, architectural planning, construction projects, and scientific research where metric measurements are required.
Tips: Enter the area in square feet. The value must be a positive number. The calculator will automatically convert it to square meters with precision to four decimal places.
Q1: Why is the conversion factor 0.09290304?
A: This factor comes from squaring the conversion factor between feet and meters (0.3048 × 0.3048 = 0.09290304).
Q2: How accurate is this conversion?
A: The conversion is mathematically exact based on the defined relationship between feet and meters in the international system of units.
Q3: When would I need to convert square feet to square meters?
A: Common applications include international real estate transactions, architectural plans for global projects, scientific research papers, and any situation requiring metric area measurements.
Q4: Can I convert square meters back to square feet?
A: Yes, to convert square meters to square feet, multiply by 10.7639 (which is 1 ÷ 0.09290304).
Q5: Are there different conversion factors for different types of area measurements?
A: No, the conversion factor remains the same regardless of what is being measured (land, floor space, surface area, etc.).
