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 is particularly useful in real estate, construction, and interior design where different measurement systems are used.
The calculator uses the conversion formula:
Where:
Explanation: One square meter equals approximately 10.7639 square feet. This conversion factor is derived from the relationship between meters and feet (1 meter = 3.28084 feet, so 1 m² = (3.28084)² ft² ≈ 10.7639 ft²).
Details: Accurate area conversion is essential for international real estate transactions, construction projects involving international teams, and understanding property sizes across different measurement systems.
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 two decimal places.
Q1: Why is the conversion factor 10.7639?
A: This factor comes from squaring the conversion between meters and feet (1 meter = 3.28084 feet, so 1 m² = (3.28084)² ft² ≈ 10.7639 ft²).
Q2: How accurate is this conversion?
A: The conversion is mathematically precise based on the defined relationship between meters and feet. The calculator provides results rounded to two decimal places for practical use.
Q3: When would I need to convert square meters to square feet?
A: This conversion is commonly needed in international real estate, architecture, interior design, and any field where measurements need to be understood across 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 10.7639 (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 might use slightly rounded values for convenience.
