Area Converter

Common area conversions

• 1 hectare = 10,000 square metres
• 1 acre = 4,046.86 square metres = 43,560 square feet
• 1 square foot = 0.0929 square metres
• 1 square mile = 640 acres = 258.999 hectares

Example

1 acre is about 0.4047 hectares. A football pitch of roughly 7,140 square metres is about 1.76 acres.

A common mistake

Areas scale with the square of length. Since 1 metre is about 3.28 feet, 1 square metre is about 10.76 square feet (3.28 squared), not 3.28.
