What is a square meter?
A square meter is a way to measure area—that’s how much space something takes up. Imagine a square that is 1 meter long on each side. When you multiply the length by the width, like this:
$$
1 \, \text{meter} \times 1 \, \text{meter} = 1 \, \text{square meter}
$$
Now, what about square feet?
A square foot works the same way, but it’s a little smaller. It’s a square that is 1 foot long on each side:
$$
1 \, \text{foot} \times 1 \, \text{foot} = 1 \, \text{square foot}
$$
