Area units explained
Square meters (m²) are the SI standard for area. A typical parking space is about 15 m². A standard tennis court is 261 m². Use m² for room measurements and property sizes outside the US.
Square feet (ft²) are used in the US and UK for real estate. A typical US apartment is 900–1,200 ft². Multiply m² by 10.764 to get ft².
Acres and hectares are used for land and agriculture. One acre = 43,560 ft² = 4,047 m². One hectare = 10,000 m² = 2.47 acres. The US uses acres; most other countries use hectares.
Square kilometers (km²) and square miles (mi²) measure large regions — countries, cities, or geographic areas. 1 mi² = 2.59 km². The United Kingdom is about 242,495 km² (93,628 mi²).
