1. What is Square Meter to Square Feet Conversion?

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 conversion is essential for international real estate, construction, and interior design projects.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the conversion formula:

\[ \text{sq ft} = \text{sq m} \times 10.7639 \]

Where:

\( \text{sq m} \) — Area in square meters
\( 10.7639 \) — Conversion factor (1 square meter = 10.7639 square feet)
\( \text{sq ft} \) — Result in 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 property transactions, architectural planning, construction projects, and interior design where different measurement systems are used.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the area in square meters. The value must be positive. The calculator will automatically convert to square feet with precision to four decimal places.
