Converting between Units for Area

Conversion Factors

  • 1 square meter (m²) = 10,000 square centimeters (cm²)
  • 1 square meter (m²) = 1,000,000 square millimeters (mm²)
  • 1 square kilometer (km²) = 1,000,000 square meters (m²)

Converting between Metric Units

  • To convert from square meters to square centimeters: multiply by 10,000
  • To convert from square meters to square millimeters: multiply by 1,000,000
  • To convert from square kilometers to square meters: multiply by 1,000,000

Converting between Imperial Units

  • 1 square foot (ft²) = 144 square inches (in²)
  • 1 square yard (yd²) = 9 square feet (ft²)
  • 1 acre = 43,560 square feet (ft²)
  • 1 square mile (mi²) = 640 acres

Converting between Metric and Imperial Units

  • 1 square meter (m²) ≈ 10.764 square feet (ft²)
  • 1 square kilometer (km²) ≈ 0.3861 square miles (mi²)

Examples

  • Convert 5 square meters to square centimeters: 5 m² × 10,000 = 50,000 cm²
  • Convert 3 square feet to square inches: 3 ft² × 144 = 432 in²
  • Convert 2 square kilometers to square meters: 2 km² × 1,000,000 = 2,000,000 m²
