About area units
Area units are squared length units, so their conversion factors are the square of the matching length factor: one foot is 0.3048 m, so one square foot is 0.3048² = 0.09290304 m². Land area uses its own units — the acre and the hectare — which are defined in terms of those same squares.
Area factors are squared length factors: 1 ft² = (0.3048 m)². The acre here uses international feet; historic US survey acres differ slightly.
