Common questions

Why can I not convert feet to meters with this formula?

Feet measure length, while square feet measure area. Area conversions square the length relationship, which is why the factor is 0.09290304 rather than 0.3048.

Should I round the result?

Two decimal places usually works for property listings and planning. Keep more digits when ordering materials, then add a separate allowance for cuts or waste.
