Conversion Formula:
| From: | To: |
The square meter to square foot conversion is 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.
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 crucial for international real estate transactions, construction projects involving international standards, and any situation where metric and imperial measurement systems need to be reconciled.
Tips: Enter the area value in square meters. The value must be a positive number. The calculator will instantly convert it to square feet with precision up to two decimal places.
Q1: Why is the conversion factor 10.7639?
A: This factor comes from squaring the conversion factor 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. The factor 10.7639 is derived from the exact relationship between meters and feet.
Q3: When would I need to convert sqm to sqft?
A: Common scenarios include international real estate listings, construction projects using imperial measurements, and interior design calculations.
Q4: Are there any exceptions to this conversion?
A: The conversion is standard and applies universally for area measurements. However, some industries may use rounded values for simplicity.
Q5: Can I convert square feet back to square meters?
A: Yes, to convert square feet to square meters, divide the square footage by 10.7639 (or multiply by 0.092903).
