Covert linear meters into square meters?

Answer 1

Linear units can't be converted to units of area. IF the linear meters are the distance around some flat shape AND we know exactly what kind of flat shape it is (like a circle or a square), then we can calculate the number of square meters in the area of the shape. But linear meters and square meters are really two different things, and neither one can be converted into the other.

Answer 2

To convert linear meters to square meters, you need to know the width of the space in meters. Multiply the length in linear meters by the width in meters to get the area in square meters. This calculation gives you the total area of the space.
