Its simple but you need the width of the material you are going to be working with.
LINEAR METRES (LM) = AREA OF SPACE / WIDTH OF MATERIAL REQUIRED(W)
For example:
I have a room 6 x 5 metres so the Area = 30 m2
I want to lay timber floorboard planks and their WIDTH per floorboard plank is 0.25 metres.
LM=A/W = 30/0.25 = 120
Therefore I will need 120 linear metres of the 0.25mtr wide planks.

∙ 6y agoMeters and linear meters are the same measurement - the word linear is used to distinguish between that and a square meter - which is a unit of area.
A note about English spelling
In North American English - which is the version of the English language used as standard here on Answers.com - meter is the spelling for the SI unit for length, and meter is also the spelling for a measuring device.
However in British English, metre is the spelling for the SI unit for length, whereas meter is the spelling for a measuring device. The units' names are in fact FRENCH words, so "Metre" is correct French.
For example, "An energy meter is located three metres from ground level."

Linear meter is a standard meter and is 39.37 inches long. So, something that is per-linear meter would be divided by a linear meter.
The meter is, by definition, a unit of distance or linear measurement. It is not necessary to say "linear," unless you are emphasizing the difference from square meters or cubic meters.So, to answer your question, there is one linear meter per meter, because they are one and the same.Another answerA linear meter is a commonly-used phrase and description for lengths of fabric.A linear meter is a meter length from a roll of fabric. Usually in Europe the width of the roll is 1.46m, so a linear meter is an oblong 1m x 1.46mSo (in this particular example):1 x Linear Meter = 1.46 square metersOne.

1 metre = 39.37 inches, approx.
A meter is a linear measurement, therefore 1 meter is the same as 1 linear meter.
The same as a meter. It is called "linear" to distinguish it from square or cubic meter, but the "linear" can really be omitted.The same as a meter.

A meter (metre) is a linear unit. there are no "non-linear" meters.
A square meter is a measure of area; whereas a linear meter is a measure of length.
A linear meter is exactly the same as a meter. So, 3000 linear meters = 3000 meters. "Linear" is just an unnecessary adjective to be used only if there is some doubt whether you are refering to a length (meter, m), area (square meter, m2) or volume (cubic meter, m3).

Yes.
You can't convert that.
Insert the word "linear". They both refer to 1-metre lengths.
You can not convert that. Square meters and linear meters measure completely different things.
Linear meters (Length) can not be converted to cubic meters (Volume)
