Good to know
Area units are squared, so the conversion factor is squared too. One metre is about 3.28 feet, but one square metre is about 10.76 square feet. The converter uses the international acre and exact definitions for feet and yards. Older regional acres, such as the US survey acre, differ very slightly.
