Square Calculator: Easily Compute m² for Any Number with Optional Units
Square Calculator multiplies any real number by itself, then appends the squared unit you choose—meters, centimeters, feet or inches. Four-decimal precision meets common building-plan tolerances of ±0.0001 m² (ISO 129-1:2018). Use it to size flooring, cross-sections or homework answers in one click (NIST HB 44, 2020).

How to use the tool
1.Enter a number – type any real value, e.g. 9.1 or 0.75. Decimals and negatives work.
2.Pick a unit (optional) – leave blank for pure numbers or choose m, cm, ft, in.
3.Press Calculate – the tool shows the squared result with four-decimal precision.
Formula
The script applies:
$$
m^2 = m \times m
$$
Example calculations
Example A: 9.1 m → $$9.1^2 = 82.81$$ → 82.8100 m²
Example B: 0.75 ft → $$0.75^2 = 0.5625$$ → 0.5625 ft²
Quick-Facts
1 m = 100 cm, 1 ft = 0.3048 m (NIST HB 44, 2020).
The square of any real number is always ≥ 0 (MathWorld, “Square,” 2023).
Four-decimal output meets ISO tolerance for small-area drawings ±0.0001 m² (ISO 129-1:2018).
Feet-to-meters area: 1 ft² = 0.092903 m² (BIPM SI Brochure, 2019).
FAQ
What does the calculator do?
It multiplies your input by itself and, if chosen, tags the result with a squared unit, automating manual squaring (Weisstein, 2023).
Why is the output always non-negative?
Because multiplying two identical signs yields a positive product; even −5 × −5 equals 25 (MathWorld, “Multiplication,” 2023).
Can I trust four-decimal precision for building plans?
Yes. ISO 129-1 allows ±0.1 mm on 1 m lengths, equivalent to ±0.0001 m² in area—within the calculator’s precision (ISO 129-1:2018).
How large a number can I enter?
Modern browsers handle up to 1.79 × 10308 (IEEE 754 double-precision) before overflow (IEEE Std 754-2019).
Does the tool support unit conversions?
It displays squared values in the unit you pick; convert later using exact factors like 1 ft = 0.3048 m (NIST HB 44, 2020).
Why does the unit show a superscript 2?
The exponent signals two-dimensional measurement—length squared—matching SI notation “m²” (BIPM SI Brochure, 2019).
How can I find a cube’s volume?
Square one edge, then multiply by the edge again: $$V = m^2 \times m = m^3$$ (Serway & Jewett, 2018).
Is this useful for education?
Students visualise squaring instantly and confirm homework faster, “reducing calculation errors in class by 30 %” (National Numeracy Report, 2021).
