Questions and answers on how to convert things from one unit or system to another

Forum rules

Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,

Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

Well, there are 144 square inches in a square foot but you need two linear measurements ( x and y) before you can have square anything.

You can't get square inches from 151.25 or 77.5 inches only. If you had an area that measured 151.25 x 77.5 square, you WOULD have 11,721.88 square inches. Divide that by 144 and you get square feet, which WOULD be 81.40 ft^2. (length in inches x width in inches / 144 = sq.ft).

However, you can't get there with only one measurement.

Mel:
