Area Converter
The converter moves area between metric and imperial units: square meters and kilometers, ares and hectares, square feet, yards, inches, acres and square miles.
Every unit is listed at once, so the same plot or floor area can be checked in both systems without a second lookup.

Key relationships
- 1 square foot = 0.09290304 m², so about 0.093 m².
- 1 square meter ≈ 10.764 square feet.
- 1 square yard = 9 square feet = 0.83612736 m².
- 1 acre = 43,560 square feet = 4,046.8564224 m².
- 1 hectare = 10,000 m² ≈ 2.471 acres.
Acres and hectares
An acre was historically the area a yoke of oxen could plough in a day, which is why the number looks arbitrary: 43,560 square feet, or a strip one furlong by one chain.
A hectare is far tidier — a square 100 by 100 meters. One hectare is close to two and a half acres, so a 10-acre field is roughly four hectares.

Measuring a room
- Rectangular room: length × width. A 10 × 20 ft room is 200 ft².
- Break irregular shapes into rectangles and add the parts together.
- For flooring, count alcoves and bays separately; for ceilings, follow the wall line.
- Wall area is the perimeter × height, minus doors and windows.
