Understanding Area Measurements

Area measurements are crucial for real estate, construction, agriculture, and land management. Different regions use different units, which can make property comparisons challenging.

Metric System: Square meters (m²), hectares (ha), square kilometers (km²) Imperial/US: Square feet (ft²), acres, square miles (mi²)

Key Conversion Factors

1 \text{ acre} = 4,046.86 \text{ m}^2 = 0.4047 \text{ hectares}

Conversion	Value
1 m²	10.764 ft²
1 ft²	0.0929 m²
1 acre	4,047 m²
1 hectare	2.471 acres
1 km²	247.1 acres

Quick estimation: 1 hectare ≈ 2.5 acres. For rough conversions, multiply hectares by 2.5 to get acres.

Real Estate Measurements

United States: Uses square feet for homes and acres for land

"1,500 square foot home" = ~139 m²
"Quarter-acre lot" = ~1,012 m²

Europe: Uses square meters for everything

"100 m² apartment" = ~1,076 ft²
"1 hectare farm" = 2.47 acres

Japan: Uses tsubo (坪) traditionally

1 tsubo = 3.306 m² = 35.58 ft²

Agricultural Land Units

Unit	Size	Common Use
Hectare	10,000 m²	International agriculture
Acre	4,047 m²	US/UK agriculture
Square mile	259 ha	Large land areas

A hectare is roughly the size of a square 100m × 100m, or about 2.5 American football fields.

Practical Tips

Property listings: Always confirm which measurement system is used
Price comparisons: Calculate price per m² or ft² for fair comparison
Lot sizes: Suburban lots are often measured in acres or fractions thereof
Room dimensions: Multiply length × width for floor area
