International yard and pound agreement (1959), squared. 1 in² = 6.4516 cm² exactly, 1 ft² = 929.0304 cm², 1 yd² = 0.83612736 m², 1 mi² = 2 589 988.110336 m². The acre is defined as 1/640 of a square mile = 4046.8564224 m² exactly.
A hectare is metric: exactly 10 000 m² (a square 100 m on each side). An acre is imperial: 4046.86 m², historically the area one ox could plough in a day. 1 hectare ≈ 2.471 acres.
It is — exactly. The 'in metres' column on the length converter shows linear ratios; here we show squared ratios. The factor between cm² and m² is 0.0001, not 0.01, because both dimensions scale.
It covers mm², cm², m², ha (10⁴ m²) and km² (10⁶ m²). dm² (0.01 m²) and decametre² (100 m²) are uncommon outside textbooks; if you need them, multiply manually.
Yes for engineering purposes. Real-estate quotes often round to whole units (a 1200 ft² apartment is rarely 1200.0 ft² on the survey). Use the converter to translate magnitudes, but cite the original measurement when it matters legally.
