Convert between square feet, square meters, acres, hectares, and more with quick reference tables.
Area conversion changes a measurement of two-dimensional space from one unit to another, such as square meters to square feet, while representing the same physical surface.
| Description | ft² | m² | acres |
|---|---|---|---|
| Parking space | 180 | 16.7 | - |
| Studio apartment | 500 | 46 | - |
| Average home | 2,000 | 186 | - |
| Tennis court | 2,808 | 261 | 0.06 |
| Football field | 57,600 | 5,351 | 1.32 |
| 1 hectare | 107,639 | 10,000 | 2.47 |
Multiply by 0.092903 to convert ft² to m².
m² = ft² × 0.092903
Multiply by 10.7639 to convert m² to ft².
ft² = m² × 10.7639
1 acre = 43,560 ft² = 4,047 m². 1 hectare = 10,000 m² = 2.47 acres.
Formula
m² = ft² × 0.092903 | 1 acre = 43,560 ft² | 1 ha = 10,000 m²m² (square meter) = SI unit of area — the area of a square with 1-meter sides
ft² (square foot) = US/UK customary unit — 1 ft² = 0.092903 m²
acre = US/UK land unit = 43,560 ft² = 4,046.86 m² — originally the area one ox could plow in a day
ha (hectare) = 10,000 m² = 2.47105 acres — standard unit for farmland and land registry worldwide
Worked Example
Convert a 2,000 ft² home to square meters and acres
Did you know? An acre was historically the area a team of oxen could plow in one day. The hectare (10,000 m²) became the standard metric land measurement in 1795 but is not an official SI unit — it's a non-SI unit accepted for use with SI.
