Multiply square feet by 0.0929 to get square meters. For example, 1,000 sq ft × 0.0929 = 92.9 sq m. Alternatively, divide by 10.764. This is useful for comparing international property sizes or construction specs.

1 acre = 43,560 square feet exactly. This equals about 4,047 square meters or 0.4047 hectares. An acre is roughly 209 feet × 209 feet, or about 90% the size of a football field (including end zones).

A hectare is the metric unit for land area, equal to 10,000 square meters (100m × 100m). 1 hectare = 2.471 acres. Hectares are used internationally and in most countries, while acres are mainly used in the US, UK, and Canada.

For rectangles: multiply length × width. For irregular shapes, divide into rectangles and triangles, calculate each, and sum. For circles: π × radius². For complex lots, use surveyor measurements. Remember to use the same units throughout.

An NFL football field (including end zones) is 1.32 acres or 57,600 square feet (360 ft × 160 ft). Without end zones, it's 1.1 acres. A soccer field varies from 1.5-2.2 acres depending on size regulations.

A square foot (sq ft) measures area—the space inside a 1ft × 1ft square. A linear foot (or running foot) measures length only—a straight line 1 foot long. For flooring, you need sq ft. For trim or border, you might need linear feet.

Divide acres by 640 to get square miles (1 sq mi = 640 acres). For example, 320 acres ÷ 640 = 0.5 square miles. A square mile is also called a "section" in land surveying and equals 259 hectares.

An are equals 100 square meters (10m × 10m). It's rarely used alone but forms the basis for hectare (100 ares = 1 hectare). You might see it in European land descriptions. 1 are = 1,076.4 sq ft.
