What is a square foot (US survey)?

A square foot (US survey) is a unit of area used mainly in US land surveying, defined as the square of the U.S. survey foot, which differs slightly from the international foot.

Why convert square foot (US survey) to square nanometer?

Conversion is done to analyze and compare land survey data on a nanoscale level, useful in scientific research and bridging historical land measurements with modern nanoscale studies.

Are the square foot (US survey) and international square foot the same?

No, the US survey foot and international foot differ slightly, so their squared units are not identical, affecting precise area conversions.
