Area Converter
Convert area between square feet, square meters, square yards, acres, and hectares.
How do I convert square feet to square meters?
Multiply square feet by 0.092903 to get square meters. Formula: sq meters = sq feet x 0.092903. Example: 1,000 sq ft = 1,000 x 0.092903 = 92.9 sq meters. Reverse: Divide square meters by 0.092903 (or multiply by 10.764) for square feet. Common conversions: 100 sq ft = 9.29 sq m, 1,000 sq ft = 92.9 sq m, 2,000 sq ft = 185.8 sq m.
How many square feet are in an acre?
1 acre = 43,560 square feet. To convert: Acres x 43,560 = square feet. Example: 0.5 acres = 21,780 sq ft, 1 acre = 43,560 sq ft, 2 acres = 87,120 sq ft. Typical lot sizes: 0.25 acre = 10,890 sq ft (small suburban), 0.5 acre = 21,780 sq ft (standard suburban), 1+ acres = rural/estate. An acre is roughly 209 ft x 209 ft square, or about 90% of a football field.
What is a hectare and how does it compare to an acre?
Hectare is metric area measurement = 10,000 square meters or 2.471 acres. Used internationally for land measurement. Conversions: 1 hectare = 2.47 acres = 107,639 sq ft = 10,000 sq m. 1 acre = 0.405 hectares. Example: 5 hectares = 12.35 acres. Hectares used in most countries; acres primarily used in US, UK, and Canada. A hectare is 100m x 100m square.
How do I calculate area from dimensions?
Area = Length x Width (for rectangles). Example: 50 ft x 30 ft = 1,500 sq ft. For irregular shapes: Divide into rectangles, calculate each, then add. Circles: π x radius². Triangles: (Base x Height) / 2. Convert units before multiplying: 50 ft x 10 yards = 50 ft x 30 ft = 1,500 sq ft. Always use same units for both dimensions. Calculate area first, then convert to desired unit using this calculator.
