A square foot (sq ft or ft²) is a unit of area commonly used in the United States and some other countries that use the imperial system of measurements. It is defined as the area of a square with sides that each measure one foot (12 inches) in length.
In terms of square meters, one square foot is approximately equal to 0.092903 square meters.
Square feet are frequently used to measure the area of rooms in houses, apartments, and other real estate properties. They are also used for various purposes in construction, architecture, and interior design.
The "square mile (US survey)" is a unit of area used in the United States primarily for land surveying and mapping purposes. It is different from the standard square mile, as it is based on the U.S. survey foot, which is a historical unit of length used in land surveying in the United States. The U.S. survey foot is slightly different from the international foot.
One square mile (US survey) is equal to approximately 3,097,600 square square meters (m²) or about 2.589988110336 square kilometers (km²).
This unit is used in various land-related applications, particularly in the United States, where the U.S. survey foot and the square mile (US survey) are still employed for legal and historical reasons in certain land surveys and property descriptions. It is important to be aware of the specific units being used when dealing with land measurements to avoid any discrepancies or errors.
