Area Converter

An area converter is a tool or method used to convert between different units of area. Area measures the extent of a two-dimensional surface and can be expressed in many different units, depending on the system (metric or imperial) and the context.

Common Units of Area

1. Square meter (m²): The standard unit of area in the International System of Units (SI).
2. Square kilometer (km²): Used for measuring larger areas, often in geographical contexts.
3. Hectare (ha): Commonly used to measure land area, especially in agriculture (1 hectare = 10,000 m²).
4. Square centimeter (cm²): Often used for smaller areas, like paper sizes or small objects.
5. Square millimeter (mm²): Used for very small areas.
6. Acre (ac): Commonly used in the United States and other countries for land area (1 acre = 4,046.86 m²).
7. Square foot (ft²): Used primarily in real estate and architecture (1 square foot = 0.092903 m²).
8. Square yard (yd²): Used in the U.S. for measuring areas, especially for land or floor space (1 square yard = 0.836127 m²).
9. Mile²: A unit of area commonly used for large-scale geographic measurements (1 mile² = 2.58999 km²).

Common Area Conversion Formulas
