To convert feet to meters squared, you need to first understand the difference between linear measurements (feet) and area measurements (meters squared).
1. Understand the conversion factor: 1 foot is equal to 0.3048 meters.
2. To convert feet to meters squared, you need to square the conversion factor. So, (0.3048)^2 = 0.09290304. This is the conversion factor for converting square feet to square meters.
3. To convert a value in square feet to square meters, you simply multiply the value in square feet by the conversion factor.
For example, if you have an area of 100 square feet and you want to convert it to square meters, you would do the following calculation:
100 square feet x 0.09290304 = 9.290304 square meters
So, 100 square feet is equal to 9.290304 square meters.
Remember to always square the conversion factor when converting linear measurements to area measurements.
