Area Unit Converter
The Area Unit Converter changes an area value between square meters, square centimeters, square feet, square inches, acres, and hectares. It converts to square meters first, then to the target unit. Factors: 1 ft² = 0.0929 m², 1 acre = 4046.86 m², 1 hectare = 10,000 m².
Formula
Convert to m² first, then to target unit. Factors: 1 ft² = 0.0929 m², 1 acre = 4046.86 m², 1 hectare = 10000 m²
- The Area Unit Converter updates instantly as you change the value or either unit.
- Formula: result = value × (from-unit in m²) ÷ (to-unit in m²)
- Input definitions: • Area Value: the area to convert • From Unit / To Unit: the source and target area units
- Every value is first converted to square meters, then to the unit you select.
- Key factors: 1 ft² = 0.09290304 m², 1 in² = 0.00064516 m², 1 acre = 4046.8564 m², 1 hectare = 10,000 m².
- Area conversions are exact ratios; only display rounding introduces tiny differences.
Example Calculation
Inputs
- Area Value: 100
Converting 100 m² to ft²: 100 ÷ 0.09290304 ≈ 1076.39 ft².
Frequently asked questions
How does the area conversion work?
Your value is converted to square meters using its unit's factor, then divided by the target unit's factor to get the result.
How many square feet are in a square meter?
About 10.7639 ft², since 1 ft² = 0.09290304 m².
How big is an acre in hectares?
About 0.4047 hectares, because 1 acre = 4046.8564 m² and 1 hectare = 10,000 m².
Can I convert between any two units here?
Yes — choose any 'From' and 'To' unit among m², cm², ft², in², acres, and hectares.
Are the results exact?
The factors are standard and exact; the displayed value is only rounded for readability.

Rectangle Area Calculator Rectangle Area Calculator is a mathematics calculator that helps you calculate the area of a geometric shape from its dimensions. The formula used is: Area = l×w; Perimeter = 2(l+w); Diagonal = √(l²+w²); Aspect ratio = max/min. Ensure all inputs share the same unit system (e.g. all metres or all feet) unless the formula converts between units. Polygon Area Calculator (by Coordinates) Polygon Area Calculator (by Coordinates) is a mathematics calculator that helps you calculate the area of a geometric shape from its dimensions. The formula used is: Area = |x1(y2−y3)+x2(y3−y1)+x3(y1−y2)|/2 (Shoelace formula); Perimeter = sum of side lengths. Ensure all inputs share the same unit system (e.g. all metres or all feet) unless the formula converts between units.
