About Square Meter and Hectare
The square meter is the SI derived unit of area, the area of a square one meter on each side. Apartment listings, building plans, and material quantities use it in metric countries. The hectare is 10,000 square meters, a square 100 meters on each side. It is the standard metric unit for land: farms, forests, and development sites. One Square Meter equals 0.0001 Hectares (1 m2 = 0.0001 ha). Square Meter is used in apartment and house listings outside the US and in flooring and paint coverage. Hectare is used in farm and agricultural land.
Precision and Rounding:Area factors are the squares of exact length factors, so they are exact too (1 ft² = 0.09290304 m² precisely). Whole numbers usually suffice for rooms and land parcels; surveying and legal land descriptions carry four or more decimal places.
Conversion factors per NIST Special Publication 811 and the BIPM SI Brochure (9th edition) (reference).
