Understanding Square Miles and Square Meters

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.
