Calculation Examples
Real Estate and Property
Property listings use different area units by region. US real estate uses square feet for indoor space and acres for land. Most other countries use square meters or hectares. A typical single-family home is 1,500-2,500 sq ft (139-232 m2). One acre equals 43,560 sq ft or about 4,047 m2, roughly the size of a football field.
Calculating Room Area
Measure room length and width in the same unit, then multiply for area. A 12 ft x 15 ft room is 180 sq ft. For irregular shapes, divide the space into rectangles, calculate each area separately, then add them together. Round up when buying materials like flooring or paint to account for waste and cutting.
Land and Agriculture
Farms and large properties use acres or hectares. One hectare equals 2.47 acres or 10,000 m2. Agricultural yield is often measured per acre or hectare, so converting between units lets you compare productivity across regions. GPS surveying tools can measure irregular land parcels more accurately than manual measurement.
Construction and Materials
Construction materials are sold in units matching local standards. Flooring, carpet, and roofing materials use sq ft in the US and m2 elsewhere. Always add 10-15% extra for waste, cuts, and errors. Check if material prices are per unit or per square (100 sq ft), as this affects total cost calculations significantly.
