We got 7.998 ft² (square feet).

To answer this question, we have that:


\begin{gathered} 1m=3.280839895\text{ft} \\ (1m)^2=(3.280839895ft)^2 \\ 1m^2=10.7639104166ft^2 \end{gathered}

Since we have:


\begin{gathered} 0.7430m^2\cdot(10.7639104166ft^2)/(1m^2)^{} \\ 0.7430\cdot^{}10.7639104166\cdot ft\cdot^{}(m^2)/(m^2)\Rightarrow(m^2)/(m^2)=1 \\ 7.99758543953ft \end{gathered}

Since we only have four significant figures for the original amount, therefore, then we have:


0.7430m^2=7.998ft^2

In summary, the conversion will result in 7.998ft².
