Neliömetreiksi

Neliömetreiksi is the Finnish term for "square meters," a unit of area measurement. It is derived from the metric system, where a meter is the base unit of length. A square meter represents the area of a square with sides that are each one meter in length.

The symbol for square meters is m². This unit is widely used internationally for measuring land, floors, walls, and other two-dimensional surfaces. In construction and real estate, the size of properties and rooms is commonly expressed in square meters. For example, a house might be described as having 150 neliömetriksi of living space, or an apartment could be advertised as 50 neliömetriksi.

To calculate an area in square meters, one multiplies the length of the area by its width, assuming both measurements are in meters. For irregularly shaped areas, they are often divided into simpler shapes like rectangles and triangles, the areas of which are calculated separately and then summed. Conversion between different units of area, such as square feet or hectares, can be done using established conversion factors. One square meter is approximately equal to 10.764 square feet.
