Area Converter
Convert an area between metric and imperial units such as square metres, hectares and acres.
Result
Worked example
1 hectare is 10,000 square metres.
How it works
Every imperial area unit here (square foot, square yard, acre, square mile) is derived by squaring the equivalent length conversion, not by reusing a plain linear length factor, so the squared relationship is always mathematically correct. Enter zero or a positive value; the displayed result may be rounded for readability, but the underlying calculation always uses the full, unrounded value.
What this result means
The converted value uses exact, defined conversion factors between the two units you chose.
Assumptions and limitations
- Negative values are rejected, since an area cannot be negative.
