Formula and method
Area units are converted through square metres. Because area is length squared, the factor is the length factor squared.

|---|---|
| 1 hectare | 10,000 m² |
| 1 acre | 4,046.86 m² (43,560 ft²) |
| 1 square foot | 0.092903 m² |
| 1 square mile | 2.58999 km² |
| 1 km² | 100 hectares |

When to use the Area Converter
- Converting property sizes between square metres, square feet, acres and hectares.
- Comparing plot sizes in listings from different countries.
- Estimating material quantities for construction and gardening.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Squaring the wrong factor. If 1 m = 3.281 ft, then 1 m² = 10.764 ft², not 3.281 ft².
- Confusing acres with hectares.
Tips
- Do not use the linear factor: 1 m = 3.28 ft, but 1 m² = 10.76 ft².
- Land sizes are often quoted in local units such as marla, kanal or bigha, so check the definition in your region.
