The conversion factor relating feet to meters is 1ft=0.305m. keep in mind that when using conversion factors, you want to make sure that like units cancel leaving you with the units you need. you have been told that a certain house is 164 m2 in area. how much is this in square feet?

You need to note in conversion factors, always check for the units. In this problem, you are given the area of a certain house which is 164m2. You are asked to find it in square feet. You will need to multiply 0.305m by itself to get m2. You have (0.305m)^2 is equal to 0.093025ft2. Now you have an equivalent factor of 1ft2 is equal to 0.093025ft2. After that, divide 164m2 by 0.093025ft2 and you will get 1762.97ft2. I rounded it ff to the nearest hundredths.
