200 m2 is NOT the same as 200 sq m, because m2 denotes metres squared; Square metres means the number of square metres, which sounds overly simplistic, but let's look at an example.

4m2 is 16 square metres (4 multiplied by 4 or 4 to the power 2); it does NOT mean 4 square metres.

So, 200m2 means 200m x 200m, which is 4,000 square metres. Whereas 200 square metres is exactly what is says.

It is a very common mistake to shorten square metres to 'm2', but to be mathematically correct it should be: 'sq m'.
