The converter calculates through the square metre. For land you will most often encounter ares and hectares: 1 are = 100 m² and 1 hectare = 100 ares = 10,000 m².
In English-speaking countries land area is given in acres: 1 acre = 4,046.86 m², i.e. roughly 0.4 hectares. Floor area in the US and UK is often given in square feet – 1 m² is roughly 10.76 ft².
