How to Convert Hectares to Square Meters

To convert a measurement in hectares to a measurement in square meters, multiply the area by the following conversion ratio: 10,000 square meters/hectare.

Since one hectare is equal to 10,000 square meters, you can use this simple formula to convert:

square meters = hectares × 10,000

The area in square meters is equal to the area in hectares multiplied by 10,000.

For example, here's how to convert 5 hectares to square meters using the formula above.

square meters = (5 ha × 10,000) = 50,000 sq m

How Many Square Meters Are in a Hectare?
