What is Area?

Area is the measurement of the surface of a two-dimensional space or shape. It tells you how much space lies within the boundary of a flat object. The standard SI unit of area is the square meter (m²), but there are many other units used worldwide depending on context — such as square feet (ft²), acres, hectares, square inches, etc.

Common Area Units

• Square Meter (m²): The base SI unit of area.
• Square Kilometer (km²): Commonly used for large land areas.
• Square Centimeter (cm²): Used for small surface measurements.
• Square Millimeter (mm²): Ideal for tiny areas like components in engineering.
• Square Mile (mi²): Commonly used in the US for land area.
• Square Yard (yd²): Popular for floor and fabric measurements.
• Square Foot (ft²): Widely used in real estate and architecture.
• Square Inch (in²): Used for small-scale measurements.
• Hectare (ha): Used primarily in agriculture (1 ha = 10,000 m²).
• Acre: A non-SI unit often used in land-related measurements (1 acre = 4046.86 m²).

How to Use the Area Converter

Using this tool is very simple:

1. Enter the numerical area value you want to convert.
2. Select the unit you're converting from (e.g., square feet).
3. Select the unit you're converting to (e.g., square meters).
4. The result will appear instantly as you type or select units.

Area Conversion Formula

The general formula used to convert area from one unit to another is:

Converted Value = Input Value × (From Unit in m²) / (To Unit in m²)

For example, to convert 1 acre to square meters:

1 acre = 4046.8564224 m² 1 m² = 1 m² So, 1 acre = 4046.8564224 / 1 = 4046.86 m²
