What are hectares and square meters?
A hectare is 10,000 square meters (about 2.47 acres), the metric unit for land area. A square meter is the SI unit of area, a square one meter on each side. For scale: a tennis court is about 261 m² (2,808 ft²), and a soccer pitch is roughly 0.7 hectares.
How to convert hectares to square meters
1 ha = 10,000 m². To convert, multiply the number of hectares by 10,000. For example, 5 ha = 50,000 m², and 20 ha = 200,000 m². To go the other way, multiply square meters by 0.0001 (since 1 m² = 0.0001 ha).
