1. What is Square Meters to Feet Conversion?

Square meters to square feet conversion is a common calculation used to convert area measurements from the metric system (square meters) to 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:

\[ SF = m² \times 10.7639104 \]

Where:

\( SF \) — Area in square feet
\( m² \) — Area in square meters
\( 10.7639104 \) — Conversion factor

Explanation: One square meter equals approximately 10.764 square feet. This conversion factor is derived from the relationship between meters and feet (1 meter = 3.28084 feet, squared).

3. Importance of Area Conversion

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.

4. Using the Calculator

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 four decimal places.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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 3.28084² = 10.7639104).

Q2: How accurate is this conversion?
