Introduction
Area measurements describe how much two-dimensional space something covers — a room, a plot of land, or a sports field. Real estate, construction, and agriculture all use different units depending on country. Use our Area Converter for every pair, or learn the formulas below.

- Square foot (ft²): Common in US real estate
- Acre: US/UK land measurement (43,560 ft²)
- Hectare (ha): Metric land unit (10,000 m²)
