The conversion factor relating feet to meters is 1ft=0.305m. Keep in mind that when using conversion factors, you want to make sure that like units cancel leaving you with the units you need. You have been told that a certain house is 164 m2 in area. How much is this in square feet?

Answer:

you need to note conversion factors, always check for the units. In this problem, you are given the area of a certain house which is 164m2. You are asked to find it in square feet. You will need to multiply 0.305m by itself to get m2. You have (0.305m)^2 is equal to 0.093025ft2. Now you have an equivalency factor of 1ft2 is equal to 0.093025ft2. After that, divide 164m2 by 0.093025ft2 and you will get 1762.97ft2. I rounded it off to the nearest
