Area Converter
Enter a value and select the source and target units to convert between nine common area units: square millimeters, square centimeters, square meters, square kilometers, square inches, square feet, square yards, acres, and hectares. The result updates instantly as you type.
Area conversions are especially useful in real estate (square feet to square meters), agriculture (acres and hectares), construction (square yards), and cartography (square kilometers). The relationships are less intuitive than length conversions because area scales with the square of the length factor.
