Francois Cardarelli in 'Scientific Unit Conversion' gives 9.290304000 as the conversion factor from the legal unit of area in the UK and in the USA. (Note that this is not the conversion factor for the square survey foot in the USA.)

Hello everyone. I haven't posted anything on the forum for a while but still checque it every day. i have a question. What is the conversion factor for going from square feet to square meters? I believe the everyday conversion factor is 1 sq ft = 0.09 sq m. I called 2 local librarys and one gave me the conversion factor of 1 sq ft = 0.923 sq m and the other one gave me 1 sq ft = 0.929 sq m. Does anyone know witch one of the 2 is correct? Thanks for all your help, much appreciated John Mercer.
