Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the conversion rate from square meters to ares?
-
One square meter equals 0.01 are. This means you multiply the square meter value by 0.01 to get the area in ares.
-
In which situations is it better to use ares over square meters?
-
Ares are more convenient when measuring small to medium land plots or gardens where square meters are too fine and hectares are too large.
-
