From: | To: |
The square meter (m²) is the SI derived unit of area. It is the area of a square with sides one meter in length. Square meters are commonly used to measure rooms, houses, and land areas.
The calculator uses the simple formula:
Where:
Explanation: To calculate the area of a square space, you simply multiply the length by itself (square the value).
Details: Calculating area in square meters is essential for construction, real estate, interior design, landscaping, and many other applications where space measurement is required.
Tips: Enter the length in meters. The value must be positive. The calculator will automatically compute the area in square meters.
Q1: Can I use this for rectangular areas?
A: This calculator gives the area of a square. For rectangles, you would need to multiply length by width.
Q2: How precise is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically precise. The precision of your result depends on the accuracy of your input measurement.
Q3: What's the difference between meters and square meters?
A: Meters measure length or distance, while square meters measure area (length × length).
Q4: Can I calculate square meters from centimeters?
A: Yes, but you would need to convert centimeters to meters first (divide by 100) before squaring.
Q5: How many square meters is a 10m × 10m space?
A: 100 square meters (10 × 10 = 100 m²).
