Imagine you have a garden that is 15 square meters big. That means if you have a square space where each side is a little over 3.8 meters long, your whole garden area would cover 15 square meters.
Now, if you’re trying to figure out how that size feels in square feet, which is another way to measure area, we can help you with that. In gardening, we often use square feet because many people in places like the United States use it to measure how big their gardens are.
To change square meters to square feet, we can use a special number: one square meter is about 10.764 square feet. That means if we want to change 15 square meters to square feet, we multiply:
$$
15 \, \text{square meters} \times 10.764 \, \text{square feet/square meter} \approx 161.46 \, \text{square feet}.
$$
So, your garden of 15 square meters is about 161.46 square feet!
If you want to picture this area, here are 7 objects that are exactly equal to 15 square meters:
