About Square meters and Square miles
Square meters (m²): One meter squared, the SI derived unit for area. Common uses: Real estate (apartment floor areas), gardening (planted area), solar panel coverage, room dimensions, and almost every non-US construction context.
Square miles (mi²): One mile squared, or 2.59 km²; the standard US unit for large land areas. Common uses: City and county area, state and national park sizes, watersheds, and large geographic features in the US.
How the conversion works
Area conversions are derived from length: 1 ft² = (0.3048 m)² = 0.092903 m². 1 acre = 4,046.86 m². 1 hectare = 10,000 m² exactly.
The exact relationship is square miles = square meters × 3.86102159e-7, which the calculator at the top of this page applies in both directions. Type into either field and the other updates immediately.
