Convert square foot to square inch

Learn how to convert 1 square foot to square inch step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (s q u a r e f o o t) = x (s q u a r e i n c h)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(s q u a r e m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (s q u a r e f o o t) = 0.09290304 (s q u a r e m e t e r) = 0.09290304 (m^{2})

Right side: 1.0 (s q u a r e i n c h) = 6.45162590802601 \times 10^{- 4} (s q u a r e m e t e r) = 6.45162590802601 \times 10^{- 4} (m^{2})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (s q u a r e f o o t) = x (s q u a r e i n c h)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.09290304 \times (s q u a r e m e t e r) = x \times 6.45162590802601 \times 10^{- 4} \times (s q u a r e m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 0.09290304 \cdot (m^{2}) = x \cdot 6.45162590802601 \times 10^{- 4} \cdot (m^{2})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.09290304 \cdot (m^{2}) = x \times 6.45162590802601 \times 10^{- 4} \times (m^{2})

Conversion Equation

0.09290304 = x \times 6.45162590802601 \times 10^{- 4}

Switch sides

x \times 6.45162590802601 \times 10^{- 4} = 0.09290304

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{6.45162590802601 \times 10^{- 4}})

x \times 6.45162590802601 \times 10^{- 4} \times \frac{1.0}{6.45162590802601 \times 10^{- 4}} = 0.09290304 \times \frac{1.0}{6.45162590802601 \times 10^{- 4}}

Cancel

x \times 6.45162590802601 \times 10^{- 4} \times \frac{1.0}{6.45162590802601 \times 10^{- 4}} = 0.09290304 \times \frac{1.0}{6.45162590802601 \times 10^{- 4}}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.09290304}{6.45162590802601 \times 10^{- 4}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 4}} can be rewritten to 10^{4}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{4} \times 0.09290304}{6.45162590802601}

Solve

x

x \approx 143.99942173 \approx 1.44 \times 10^{2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (s q u a r e f o o t) \approx 1.44 \times 10^{2} (s q u a r e i n c h)
