Usage

This template displays area measurement units used within various Category:Geobox templates, automatically converting between metric/imperial values. The input must be unformatted numeric values (i.e. without commas, the commas are automatically added to the output).

It can display and convert following units:

• m² to sq ft (square metres to square feet) and vice-versa
• ha to acres (hectares to acres) and vice-versa
• km² to sq mi (square kilometres to square miles) and vice-versa

The template has 3 unnamed parameters: {{Unit area| unit| value| round}}. Their meaning is as follows:

1. unit … obligatory, unit (sqm/m, sqft/ft, ha, acre, sqkm/km, sqmi/mi, slashes delimit alternatives) of the value parameter, it will get displayed first
2. value … obligatory, numerical value
3. round … mandatory, number of decimal digits (negative numbers can be used for rounded figures); if not specified 0 is assumed

Examples

• {{Unit area|sqkm|1000}}: 1,000 km² (386 sq mi)
• {{Unit area|sqmi|1000.25|25}}: 1,000.25 sq mi (2,590.64 km²)
• {{Unit area|km|1000|-2}}: 1,000 km² (400 sq mi)
• {{Unit area|acre|1000.25|1}}: 1,000.25 acres (404.8 ha)
