A square meter is a unit used to measure area.

The square meter, or square metre, is the SI derived unit for area in the metric system. A square meter is sometimes also referred to as a square m. Square meters can be abbreviated as sq m, and are also sometimes abbreviated as m². For example, 1 square meter can be written as 1 sq m or 1 m².

You can use a square meters calculator to calculate the area of a space if you know its dimensions.

How Much Is a Square Meter?

One square meter is equivalent to the area of a square with sides that are each 1 meter in length.[1] One square meter is equal to 10.76391 square feet or 10,000 square centimeters.

How to Convert Square Meters

To convert square meters to another unit of area, you need to multiply the value by a conversion factor. A conversion factor is a numerical value used to change the units of a measurement without changing the value.[2]

You can find the conversion factors for square meters in the conversion table below.

Then, multiply the area measurement by the conversion factor to find the equivalent value in the desired unit of measurement.

square meters × conversion factor = result

You can also use a calculator, such as one of the converters below, for the conversion.
