What are square meters and hectares?
A square meter is the SI unit of area, a square one meter on each side. A hectare is 10,000 square meters (about 2.47 acres), the metric unit for land area. For scale: a tennis court is about 261 m² (2,808 ft²), and a soccer pitch is roughly 0.7 hectares.
How to convert square meters to hectares
1 m² = 0.0001 ha. To convert, multiply the number of square meters by 0.0001. For example, 5 m² = 0.0005 ha, and 20 m² = 0.002 ha. To go the other way, multiply hectares by 10,000 (since 1 ha = 10,000 m²).
