Square Feet to Hectares

Square Foot

A square foot (ft²) is a popular area measurement in the US, based on a square with sides one foot long. It is widely used in construction, home layouts, painting coverage, and room dimensions — making it a central unit for homeowners and professionals.

Square feet give a realistic reference for everyday living spaces and material estimates. When comparing internationally, converting to square meters becomes essential.

Hectare

A hectare (ha) is a land measurement unit commonly used in agriculture and real estate in metric-based countries. One hectare equals 10,000 square meters — a square that measures 100 meters on each side. Its scale makes land sizes easier to visualize than large numbers of square meters.

The hectare bridges the gap between household and geographic areas, making it effective for farms, parks, and large property developments.
