John: The library-provided conversion factors are out by a factor of 10. Of course, that may be your own transcription error.
The exact conversion is 1 square foot = 0.092 903 04 square meters, so 0.0929 is close enough for most work.

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.
