An Area Converter is a tool or software used to convert between different units of area measurement. Area refers to the extent of a two-dimensional surface or region and is commonly used in contexts like real estate, agriculture, or land measurement.
Common area units include:
- Square meters (m²): A standard metric unit used globally for measuring area, especially for buildings and land.
- Square kilometers (km²): A metric unit used to measure large areas, like cities, countries, or regions.
- Acres (ac): A unit of area commonly used in the United States and other countries that use the Imperial system, often for land and real estate.
- Hectares (ha): A metric unit used for measuring large areas, commonly used in agriculture or land management. 1 hectare = 10,000 square meters.
- Square feet (ft²): An Imperial unit used primarily in the United States, often for measuring smaller areas like rooms, houses, or plots of land.
- Square yards (yd²): An Imperial unit used to measure areas, typically for land or surface measurements.
- Acres to Square Feet: Another commonly used conversion, especially in real estate.
For example, a typical Area Converter can help you convert between:
- Square meters to Square feet: 1 m² ≈ 10.7639 ft²
- Acres to Square meters: 1 acre = 4,046.86 m²
- Hectares to Acres: 1 hectare = 2.47105 acres
- Square kilometers to Square miles: 1 km² ≈ 0.386102 square miles
Area converters are widely used in real estate, agriculture, landscaping, and construction and are available as online tools, apps, or integrated into digital calculators.
