(opens in a new tab)How to convert square meters to square feet
Formula: square feet = square meters / 0.09290304
The constant is exact by definition: 1 square foot = 0.09290304 square meters. It is not a rounded approximation.
A square foot is 0.3048 m by 0.3048 m, which is exactly 0.09290304 m². Area conversions use the square of the length factor, so dividing square meters by 0.3048, the factor for a single length, would give a number more than three times too small.
