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 is equal to approximately 10.7639104 square feet. This conversion factor is derived from the relationship between meters and feet (1 meter = 3.28084 feet).
Details: Accurate area conversion is crucial for international real estate transactions, construction projects involving international teams, and when working with architectural plans from different countries that use different measurement systems.
Tips: Enter the area in square meters. The value must be a non-negative number. The calculator will automatically compute the equivalent area in square feet.
Q1: Why is the conversion factor 10.7639104?
A: This factor comes from squaring the conversion between meters and feet (1 meter = 3.28084 feet, so 1 m² = (3.28084)² = 10.7639104 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 with 4 decimal places for precision.
Q3: When would I need to convert between these units?
A: Common scenarios include international real estate comparisons, construction projects with international specifications, and converting architectural plans between metric and imperial systems.
Q4: Are there different conversion factors in some countries?
A: The conversion factor is standard internationally, though some countries may use rounded values for everyday calculations (e.g., 10.76 or 10.8).
Q5: Can I convert square feet back to square meters?
A: Yes, to convert square feet to square meters, divide the square footage by 10.7639104 or multiply by 0.092903.
