What is a square meter?
A square meter is a unit of area that is equal to a square that is 1 meter long on each side. So if you have a square garden that measures 1 meter by 1 meter, it would be 1 square meter.
What is a square foot?
A square foot is similar, but it’s a bit smaller than a square meter. A square foot is equal to a square that is 1 foot long on each side.
How to convert square meters to square feet
To change square meters into square feet, you can use a little math! Specifically, 1 square meter is equal to about 10.764 square feet. So, if we want to find out how many square feet are in 7 square meters, we can use this equation:
$$
7 \text{ m}^2 \times 10.764 \text{ ft}^2/\text{m}^2 = 75.347 \text{ ft}^2
$$
This means that 7 square meters is roughly 75.347 square feet.
Examples of 7 square meters
If you want to visualize what 7 square meters looks like, here are 7 objects that could help you picture it:
- A square garden space measuring about 2.65 meters on each side.
- A small patch of grass in your backyard that covers 7 square meters.
- A tiny shed that takes up the same area.
- A small sandbox for kids to play in, if it’s about 2.65 meters by 2.65 meters.
- A few potted plants placed together that cover a similar area.
- A st rectangular table that could fit in your garden space, measuring about 1 meter by 7 meters.
- A small flower bed that gives room for various flowers to be planted.
