Question

A student sees a newspaper ad for an apartment that has $1330$ square feet $\left({\mathrm{ft}}^2\right)$ of floor space.

How many square meters of area are there?

Answer 1

Convert square feet into square meter:

The relation is $1\mathrm{square}\mathrm{meter}=10.764\mathrm{square}\mathrm{feet}$.

To convert square feet to square meters, divide the unit by $10.764.$

$$\begin{gathered} 1330{\mathrm{ft}}^2=\frac{1330}{10.764}{\mathrm{m}}^2 \\ \therefore 1330{\mathrm{ft}}^2\approx 123.561{\mathrm{m}}^2 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, $1330$ square feet is equal to $123.561$ square meter.
