Area Conversion Calculator Chart
Here is a chart showing common units of area measurement and their conversion factors:
| Unit of Measurement | Abbreviation | Conversion Factor |
|---|---|---|
| Square meter | m² | 1 |
| Square centimeter | cm² | 0.0001 |
| Square millimeter | mm² | 0.000001 |
| Hectare | ha | 10,000 |
| Square kilometer | km² | 1,000,000 |
| Square inch | in² | 0.00064516 |
| Square foot | ft² | 0.09290304 |
| Square yard | yd² | 0.83612736 |
| Acre | ac | 4046.8564224 |
| Square mile | mi² | 2,589,988.110336 |
To use this chart, multiply the value of the area you want to convert by the conversion factor for the desired unit of measurement. For example, to convert 100 square meters to square feet, you would multiply 100 by 10.764, since 1 square meter is equal to 10.764 square feet. The result would be 1076.4 square feet.
Area Conversion Calculator Formula
Here is a table showing the conversion formula and factors for common units of area measurement:
| Unit of Measurement | Conversion Formula | Conversion Factor |
|---|---|---|
| Square meter (m²) | 1m² = 1m² | 1 |
| Square centimeter (cm²) | 1m² = 10,000cm² | 0.0001 |
| Square millimeter (mm²) | 1m² = 1,000,000mm² | 0.000001 |
| Hectare (ha) | 1ha = 10,000m² | 10,000 |
| Square kilometer (km²) | 1km² = 1,000,000m² | 1,000,000 |
| Square inch (in²) | 1m² = 1550.0031in² | 0.00064516 |
| Square foot (ft²) | 1m² = 10.7639104ft² | 0.09290304 |
| Square yard (yd²) | 1m² = 1.19599005yd² | 0.83612736 |
| Acre (ac) | 1ac = 4046.85642m² | 4046.85642 |
| Square mile (mi²) | 1mi² = 2,589,988.11034m² | 2,589,988.11034 |
- To use this table, you can use the conversion formula and the conversion factor to convert the area from one unit of measurement to another.
- For example, to convert 100 square meters to square feet, you can use the conversion formula 1m² = 10.7639104ft², and multiply the area value (100) by the conversion factor (10.7639104). The result would be 1076.39104 square feet.
