Linear Meter to Square Meter Calculator

Formula

To calculate square meters from linear meters:

\[ SM = LM1 \times LM2 \]

Where:

\(SM\) is the Square Meters (m²)
\(LM1\) is the Linear Meters in the First Direction (m)
\(LM2\) is the Linear Meters in the Second Perpendicular Direction (m)

What is a Square Meter?

A square meter is a unit of area measurement equal to a square measuring one meter on each side. It is used to measure the area of a two-dimensional space such as a field or floor. When calculating square meters from linear meters, you are determining the area of a rectangle with sides equal to the given linear meters.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Linear Meters in the First Direction (\(LM1\)) = 5 meters
Linear Meters in the Second Direction (\(LM2\)) = 10 meters

Using the formula:

\[ SM = 5 \times 10 = 50 \, \text{m}^2 \]

The area is 50 square meters.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Linear Meters in the First Direction (\(LM1\)) = 7 meters
Linear Meters in the Second Direction (\(LM2\)) = 8 meters

Using the formula:

\[ SM = 7 \times 8 = 56 \, \text{m}^2 \]

The area is 56 square meters.
