Square Foot
Definition: A square foot (symbol: ft²) is an imperial and US customary unit of area equal to a square with 1 foot (12 inches) sides. One square foot equals exactly 0.09290304 square meters or 144 square inches.
History: Dates back to ancient measurement systems based on human dimensions. The international foot definition of 1959 (exactly 0.3048 meters) standardized the square foot in metric terms.
Current use: The primary unit for real estate measurements in the United States (home sizes, office spaces). Also used in construction (material estimates) and architecture in countries using imperial units. The UK uses square meters officially but square feet persists in informal contexts.
Square Meter (m²)
Definition: A square meter (symbol: m²) is the SI derived unit of area. It is defined as the area of a square with sides measuring exactly one meter in length. This is the fundamental unit for measuring two-dimensional spaces in the metric system.
History: The square meter was introduced as part of the metric system during the French Revolution in the 1790s. Its definition has evolved with the meter's redefinitions, most recently tying it to the speed of light in 1983. As the meter was redefined, the square meter automatically adjusted while maintaining its fundamental relationship.
Current use: Used worldwide for measuring room sizes, construction areas, and land parcels in metric countries. It's the standard unit in architecture, engineering, and real estate everywhere except the United States. Even in countries that use imperial units for distance, square meters are often used for technical and scientific applications.
