square metre

Unit: m²

This is a metric unit used to measure area.

It is possible to draw a shape with an area of 1 m² by drawing a square measuring 1 metre by 1 metre.

1 square metre is equal to 10 000 square centimetres (1 m² = 10 000 cm²).

We use m² to measure a large area, for example a room, a piece of land and so on.
