The square meter to square foot conversion is a common calculation used to convert between metric and imperial area measurements. One square meter equals approximately 10.7639 square feet.
The calculator uses the conversion formula:
Where:
Explanation: This conversion factor is derived from the relationship between meters and feet, where 1 meter equals approximately 3.28084 feet, squared to convert area measurements.
Details: Accurate area conversion is essential for real estate transactions, construction projects, interior design, and international property comparisons where different measurement systems are used.
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 3.28084² = 10.7639).
Q2: How accurate is this conversion?
A: The conversion is mathematically precise based on the defined relationship between meters and feet. Our calculator provides results with two decimal places for practical accuracy.
Q3: When would I need to convert square meters to square feet?
A: Common scenarios include international real estate comparisons, construction projects using imperial measurements, and understanding property sizes in countries that use 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 specific industries might use slightly different conversion factors for historical reasons.
