1. What is Square Feet to Square Meters Conversion?

The conversion between square feet and square meters is essential for comparing area measurements between imperial and metric systems. One square meter equals approximately 10.7639 square feet.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the conversion formula:

Where:

• \( \text{Sq m} \) — Area in square meters
• \( \text{sq ft} \) — Area in square feet
• 10.7639 — Conversion factor (square feet per square meter)

Explanation: This formula converts an area measurement from square feet (imperial system) to square meters (metric system).

3. Importance of Area Conversion

Details: Accurate area conversion is crucial for real estate, construction, interior design, and any international projects where both measurement systems are used.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the area in square feet (must be a positive number). The calculator will automatically compute the equivalent area in square meters.
