How do I convert a house which 24 square meters into meters squared?

They mean the same thing. Square meters is the same as meters squared.


What are lineal meters?

A linear (lineal) metre is the same thing as a metre. I think it's a dumbed down term for a metre so people won't get confused with metre, square metre and cubic metre.


What is the difference between meters squared and square meters?

None! They both mean the same thing. For example, if your floor measures 3 meters long and 2 meters wide you would need 6 square meters of carpet. Alternatively you could say "My floor measures 6 meters squared." Five meters squared. This refers to a linear measure, five meters. It also tells what function to apply to the measure-- make a square with it. If I make a square with a five meter chain, I will end up with 25 square meters. Five square meters. This will be equivalent to five of the 25 squares that the above area contains. Quite different. If you have a floor measuring 3 meters by 2 meters and you ask the carpet guy for carpeting to cover 6 meters squared, you will get an unpleasant surprise.


What is the difference between sqare metre and metre squared?

Nothing - they're both the same measurement. You can use either - depending on the circumstances. For example, you could say a room is 20 square metres in area, or it is 20 metres squared. Either way is correct.


What is the difference between 25 cm squared and 25 squared cm?
