What is Square Meter and Square Foot?
A square meter is a way to measure a space that is 1 meter long and 1 meter wide. If you picture a square on the ground, that’s how big one square meter would be.
On the other hand, a square foot is a smaller area. It’s 1 foot long and 1 foot wide.
Converting Square Meters to Square Feet
To change square meters into square feet, you can use the conversion that 1 square meter is equal to about 10.764 square feet.
So to convert 0.02 square meters into square feet, we can use the formula:
$$
\text{Area in square feet} = \text{Area in square meters} \times 10.764
$$
Now, let’s do the math together:
$$
0.02 \, \text{square meters} \times 10.764 \, \text{(square feet/square meter)} \approx 0.21528 \, \text{square feet}
$$
So, 0.02 square meters is approximately 0.215 square feet.
Things That Match This Area
To help visualize this size, here are 7 objects that are exactly equal to 0.02 square meters or about 0.215 square feet:
- A small piece of paper (around the size of a notepad)
- The top of a dinner plate
- A small flower pot (for a seedling)
- A coaster that you would put your drink on
- A small cutting board (for chopping herbs)
