How this was calculated
- m² = sq ft × 0.09290304
- sq ft = m² ÷ 0.09290304
- Result = value × (size of 1 “from” unit) ÷ (size of 1 “to” unit), worked out exactly
- Square meters (m²) = 1,200 sq ft × 0.09290304 m²/sq ft = 111.483648 m² (exact)
The factor and why it is 0.3048²
Square the length factor
A square foot is a square 1 ft on each side, so it measures 0.3048 m × 0.3048 m = 0.09290304 m². Squaring an exact number gives an exact number.
Square feet to square meters
m² = sq ft × 0.09290304.
Square meters to square feet
sq ft = m² ÷ 0.09290304. This division rarely ends, so the result is rounded half-up to the decimal places you pick and marked with ≈.
Worked examples
1,200 sq ft × 0.09290304 = 111.483648 m², exact.
85 m² ÷ 0.09290304 ≈ 914.9324 sq ft.
1,000 sq ft × 0.09290304 = 92.90304 m², exact.
Converting a listing’s area
Converting a number does not change what was measured: check whether a listing’s figure is carpet, built-up or super built-up area before you compare two flats. A flat sold as 1,200 sq ft super built-up has less floor inside its walls than one with 1,200 sq ft of carpet area. The carpet area and super built-up area calculators work out each one.
Why 10.76 is approximate (and 0.0929 too)
One square meter is 1 ÷ 0.09290304 = 10.7639104… sq ft, a decimal that never ends. With 10.76, 1,000 m² comes out as 10,760 sq ft instead of about 10,763.9 sq ft. 0.0929 is a rounded copy of 0.09290304 and loses about 3 parts in a hundred thousand. The converter keeps the exact factor and rounds only the final answer.
And you can’t multiply by 3.28 for areas: that is the length factor. An area has two lengths, so the factor is squared, 3.2808399² ≈ 10.7639.
