Area Converter: Definition, History, Uses, and Examples

Definition

Area measures the size of a two‑dimensional surface. Common units include square meters (m²), square feet (ft²), acres, and hectares (ha). Conversions are based on exact ratios, for example: 1 m² = 10.7639 ft², 1 acre = 4046.8564 m², and 1 hectare = 10,000 m².

Origin or History

Metric units (m², ha, km²) originate from the International System of Units, designed for simple, decimal‑based scaling. Imperial/US customary units (ft², yd², acres, mi²) grew from historical measures of land and building materials. The acre historically referred to the area a yoke of oxen could plow in a day; today it is defined exactly as 43,560 square feet (≈ 4,046.856 m²).
