A square metre is a measure of area, with two dimensions, length and width [L2]. A metre is a measure of distance, with one dimension [L]. The two measure different things and basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions such as these.

To convert square meters to meters, you simply take the square root of the number of square meters. For example, if you have 16 square meters, the equivalent length in meters would be 4 meters (since the square root of 16 is 4).
Oh, dude, it's like converting apples to oranges, but with meters. To convert running meters to square meters, you just need to know the width of the material. If the width is 1 meter, then 1 running meter is equal to 1 square meter. If the width is different, you multiply the running meters by the width in meters to get the square meters. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!
You cannot directly convert meters to square meters because one measures distance and the other measures area. If you want to convert 1500 meters to square meters, you would need to specify the dimensions (length and width) of the area being measured in meters.
Divide by 10000 to convert from sq cm to sq meters Answer = 5 meters
To convert linear meters to square meters, you need to know the width of the material in linear meters. If the width is 1 meter, then 1 linear meter equals 1 square meter. If the width is different, you would multiply the width by the linear meters to get the square meters (Square Meters = Width x Linear Meters).
Cubic meters measure volume (3-dimensional), while square meters measure area (2-dimensional). Therefore, you cannot directly convert cubic meters to square meters.
