Square Feet to Square Meters Converter

Welcome to the Square Feet to Square Meters Converter, also known as sqft to sqm converter, ft2 to m2 converter, and ft² to m² converter.

To create a formula that we can use to convert square feet to square meters, we start with the fact that one foot equals 0.3048 meters. Therefore, this formula is true:

Feet × 0.3048 = Meters

However, we are dealing with square feet and square meters, which means feet and meters to the 2nd power. Thus, we take both sides of the formula above to the 2nd power to get this result:

Feet² × 0.3048² = Meters²
Feet² × 0.09290304 = Meters²
ft² × 0.09290304 = m²

Now we know that one square foot is equal to 0.09290304 square meters, and the formula to convert square feet to square meters is as follows:

ft² × 0.09290304 = m²
