SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on converting an area measurement from square feet to square meters. The conversion factor established is that 1 square foot equals approximately 0.09290 square meters. To convert 6000 square feet to square meters, the calculation involves multiplying 6000 by the conversion factor, resulting in an area of approximately 557.4 square meters. The forum participants emphasize the importance of using the correct units for area measurement, specifically square meters rather than meters.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of area measurement units (square feet and square meters)
  • Basic knowledge of unit conversion techniques
  • Familiarity with mathematical operations involving multiplication and division
  • Awareness of the metric system and its relationship to imperial units
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the formula for converting square feet to square meters in detail
  • Explore additional unit conversion tools and calculators available online
  • Learn about the implications of using incorrect units in measurements
  • Investigate the use of area measurement in real estate and construction projects
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for architects, real estate professionals, students in mathematics or engineering, and anyone involved in projects requiring accurate area measurements and conversions.

For some reason I cannot get this.

You mean "square meters" of course- you can't measure area in meters any more than you measure it in feet.

1 foot is about .30r8 meters so 1 square foot is about (.3048)2= 0.09290 square meters. Divide 600 square feet by that.
 
You need the conversion factor for sq. ft. into sq. meters.

1 m. = 39.37 inches = 39.37/12 ft.
1 m2 = (39.37/12)2 ft2
So 1/((39.37/12)2) m2 = 1 ft2

For your problem,
6000 ft2 * 1 m2/(((39.37/12)2) ft2) should give you the area in square meters.

I get about 557.4 m2.
