Frequently asked questions
▶How do I convert square feet to square metres?
1 sq ft equals 0.0929 sq m, so multiply sq ft by 0.0929 or divide by 10.764. A 1,200 sq ft flat is 111.5 sq m. Going the other way, 100 sq m equals 1,076 sq ft. Indian real estate often quotes both : carpet area in sq ft and total in sq m on the sale deed.
▶What is 1 acre in sq ft?
1 acre equals 43,560 sq ft or 4,046.86 sq m. So a 5-acre farm is 2,17,800 sq ft or about 2 hectares. 1 hectare equals 10,000 sq m, which is 2.471 acres. Acre is common in US, UK, and Indian rural land deals; hectare is the metric standard used in government records.

▶Built-up versus carpet versus super built-up area: what is the difference?
Carpet area is the actual usable space inside walls (where you can lay a carpet). Built-up area adds walls and balcony, usually 10 to 15 percent more. Super built-up area adds a share of common spaces like lobby, lifts, and stairs, often 25 to 35 percent more than carpet. RERA mandates pricing on carpet area for transparency.

▶What is the area of a circle?
Area equals π times r squared, where r is the radius. A circular plot with 10 m radius covers π times 100, about 314.16 sq m. For a 1 km radius circle, area equals π times 10,00,000, about 31,41,593 sq m or 314 hectares. Use 3.1416 as a quick value of π for hand calculations.
