Square Kilometers to Square Feet conversion

How to convert square kilometers to square feet?

To convert square kilometers to square feet, you can follow these steps:

1. Understand the Conversion Factors:

   • 1 kilometer = 1,000 meters.
   • 1 meter = 3.28084 feet.
   • Therefore, 1 square kilometer is equivalent to (1,000 meters * 3.28084 feet/meter)^2 square feet.

2. Calculate the Conversion:

   • 1 kilometer = 1,000 meters
   • 1 square kilometer = (1,000 meters)^2 = 1,000,000 square meters
   • 1 meter = 3.28084 feet
   • 1 square meter = 3.28084 feet * 3.28084 feet = 10.7639 square feet
   • Therefore, 1 square kilometer = 10.7639 square feet/square meter * 1,000,000 square meters = 10,763,910 square feet.

So, 1 square kilometer is equal to 10,763,910 square feet.
