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.
