Convert square inch to square meter

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

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

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 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})

Right side: 1.0 (s q u a r e m e t e r) = 1.0 (s q u a r e m e t e r) = 1.0 (m^{2})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

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

Or

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

Cancel SI units

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

Conversion Equation

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

Simplify

6.45162590802601 \times 10^{- 4} = x

Switch sides

x = 6.45162590802601 \times 10^{- 4}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0006451626 \approx 6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (s q u a r e i n c h) \approx 6.4516 \times 10^{- 4} (s q u a r e m e t e r)
