Understanding Square Meters and Acres

Square meters and square feet are the everyday units for rooms, homes, and building plots. Acres and hectares measure land — an acre (about 4,047 m²) is the traditional measure in the US and UK, while a hectare (10,000 m²) is the metric standard used worldwide for farmland. One hectare equals about 2.47 acres, a ratio worth memorizing for anyone working with land.

How accurate is this conversion?

Because area is length squared, the conversion factors are the square of the corresponding length factors. For example, since 1 foot = 0.3048 meters exactly, 1 square foot = 0.3048² = 0.09290304 square meters exactly.
