📐 Understanding Area Conversion

Area conversion is different from length conversion because it involves two dimensions:

1 foot = 0.3048 meters
So: (1 foot)² = (0.3048 meters)²
1 square foot = 0.09290304 square meters

This is why the area conversion factor (0.09290304) is the square of the length conversion factor (0.3048).
