From

Square Meter

m²

The square metre is the SI derived unit of area — the area of a square with 1 m sides. It is the standard unit for property floor area in Europe, Asia and most of the world. European apartments are sold by price per m², and urban land prices are quoted in €/m².

Real-world: A small European studio is 20–30 m². A 3-bedroom flat is typically 80–100 m². A tennis court is 260 m².

Square Millimeter

mm²

The square millimetre equals 1/1,000,000 of a square metre. Used in precision engineering, electronics (transistor size, chip area) and microscopy. The cross-section of an electrical cable is often specified in mm².

Real-world: Typical household wiring is 2.5 mm² copper. A grain of rice covers about 10 mm². A pin head is under 1 mm².

Tips & common mistakes

Quick tips

1 m² ≈ 10.76 ft².
Multiply length × width in metres to get m².
For a mental image: a square tile 1 m × 1 m covers 1 m².

Avoid these

Writing m2 or m^2 in formal documents — the correct notation is m².
Confusing m² with m — one is area, the other length.
Treating 2 m² as twice 1 m² in side length — it is actually √2 × 1 m on each side.
