1. What is Square Meters to Square Feet Conversion?

The square meter to square foot conversion is a common calculation used to convert area measurements between the metric system (square meters) and the imperial system (square feet). This conversion is essential in real estate, construction, and interior design where different measurement systems are used.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the conversion formula:

\[ \text{Square feet} = \text{Square meters} \times 10.7639 \]

Where:

Square meters — Area measurement in metric system
10.7639 — Conversion factor (1 square meter = 10.7639 square feet)

Explanation: The conversion factor 10.7639 is derived from the relationship between meters and feet (1 meter = 3.28084 feet, squared gives approximately 10.7639).

3. Importance of Area Conversion

Details: Accurate area conversion is crucial for international real estate transactions, construction projects involving international standards, and understanding property sizes across different measurement systems.

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.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why is the conversion factor 10.7639?
