Square Feet

A square foot (ft²) is a unit of area commonly used in the imperial system and the U.S. customary system. It is defined as the area of a square with sides that are each 1 foot long. One square foot is equal to 144 square inches or 0.0929 square meters.

Origin:

The square foot is derived from the foot, which was historically based on the length of a human foot. The foot has been used for thousands of years in various cultures and was standardized in England during the 12th century. The square foot, as a unit of area, developed to provide a practical way to measure spaces in both residential and commercial contexts. It is widely used for measuring the area of rooms, homes, yards, and buildings, particularly in countries that use the imperial system or U.S. customary units. Despite the global adoption of the metric system, the square foot remains commonly used in the United States, the United Kingdom, and other regions for real estate, construction, and interior design.

Square Meter

The square meter (m²) is the SI (International System of Units) unit of area. It is defined as the area of a square with sides that are each 1 meter long. One square meter is equivalent to 1 meter × 1 meter and is used to measure areas in a variety of fields, including real estate, construction, and land measurement.

Origin:

The square meter derives from the meter, which is the base unit of length in the SI system. The meter was originally defined in the late 18th century during the French Revolution as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole. With the introduction of the meter, the square meter was naturally established as the unit for area. The square meter has since become the standard unit for area measurement in scientific, engineering, and everyday applications, reflecting the metric system's widespread use globally.
