How to convert area
Area measures a flat surface. Land is often given in hectares or acres, rooms and homes in square meters or square feet, and maps in square kilometers or square miles.
Every area unit is a fixed multiple of one base unit, the m². To convert a value, multiply it by the size of the starting unit and divide by the size of the target unit. For example, to convert ft² to m², multiply by 0.09290304. To go the other way, divide by 0.09290304.
The converter above does this for you and shows the exact formula under the result.
