A: Yes, but you'll need to convert to meters first (100 cm = 1 m) or the result will be in square centimeters.

Q2: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically precise. Accuracy depends on your measurement precision.

Q3: Can this calculate area for irregular shapes?
A: No, this only calculates area for rectangular shapes. For irregular shapes, you need more complex methods.

Q4: How do I calculate square meters for a room?
A: Measure the length and width of the room in meters and multiply them using this calculator.

Q5: What's the difference between square meters and meters squared?
