About Square Foot (US Survey) (ft² (US))
Definition
The US survey square foot is a historical area unit based on the US survey foot (1200/3937 m), equal to approximately 0.09290341 m².
Mathematical Relationship
1 ft² (US) ≈ 0.09290341 m². Differs from international ft² (0.09290304 m²) by about 4 × 10⁻⁷ m².
Conversion Formula
To convert US survey ft² to m²: multiply by 0.09290341. To international ft²: multiply by ~1.000004.
Practical Applications
Historical property records and government land survey documents.
Interesting Facts
The difference from the international square foot is only about 0.4 mm² — negligible for a single measurement, but significant over millions of square feet.
Common Mistakes
Using the US survey foot in new work. Since 2023, only the international foot is valid in the US.
Educational Tips
The US survey foot existed because of a historical definition difference. It's now retired — use the international foot (exactly 0.3048 m).
About Hectare (ha)
Definition
The hectare is a metric unit of area equal to 10,000 square meters, or 100 ares — the area of a square 100 meters on each side.
Mathematical Relationship
1 ha = 10,000 m² = 100 a = 0.01 km² ≈ 2.471 acres.
Conversion Formula
To convert ha to acres: multiply by 2.471. To km²: divide by 100. To m²: multiply by 10,000.
Practical Applications
Farm sizes, vineyard areas, forestry management, urban planning zones, and national park boundaries.
Interesting Facts
Singapore has a total area of about 72,800 ha. The Amazon rainforest loses about 1 million ha per year to deforestation.
Common Mistakes
Confusing hectare with acre — a hectare is about 2.47 acres, not equal to one. Also, 1 km² = 100 ha, not 1,000.
Educational Tips
A hectare = 100 m × 100 m. A football field is about 0.7 ha. Two football fields ≈ 1.4 ha — close to 1 ha.
