🤔 How Does This Work?
Our Area Converter converts all values through square metres as the base unit:
1 cm² = 0.0001 m²
1 ft² = 0.092903 m²
1 yd² = 0.836127 m²
1 acre = 4,046.856 m²
1 hectare = 10,000 m²
1 km² = 1,000,000 m²
1 mi² = 2,589,988 m²
To convert: input value is first converted to m², then converted to the target unit. Results are shown to 8 significant figures for maximum accuracy.
