Unit Converter for Length, Weight, Temperature and Area

Guide

Exact factors used

Length: 1 inch = 2.54 cm exactly, so 1 foot = 0.3048 m and 1 mile = 1.609344 km. Weight: 1 pound = 0.45359237 kg and 1 ounce = 28.349523 g; 1 tola is taken as 11.6638 g, the traditional jeweller’s value. Temperature uses formulas rather than factors: °F = °C × 9 ÷ 5 + 32 and K = °C + 273.15. Area: 1 sq ft = 0.09290304 m², 1 gaj (square yard) = 9 sq ft, 1 acre = 43,560 sq ft and 1 hectare = 10,000 m².

About bigha and other local land units

Bigha, biswa, kanal and marla are widely used in property deals, but their size changes from state to state and even district to district – a bigha in Rajasthan is not the same as one in Uttar Pradesh or Assam. Because there is no single correct value, we do not include them; check the local revenue office or your sale deed for the exact figure, then convert that square-foot value here.

Everyday examples

A 5 ft 8 in height is 172.7 cm; a 32 °C summer day is 89.6 °F; a 1,200 sq ft flat is 111.5 m² or 133.3 gaj; 2 kg of luggage is 4.41 lb. When you list a plot, flat or furniture on FastBuySale, give sizes in both the local unit and square feet or metres so buyers from other cities understand them.

Quick reference

1,500 sq ft = 139.35 m² = 166.67 gaj. 2 acres = 87,120 sq ft. 5 ft = 1.524 m. 100 lb = 45.36 kg. 40 °C = 104 °F (a hot Indian summer day); 98.6 °F = 37 °C (normal body temperature). 1 km = 0.6214 miles. 10 tola ≈ 116.64 g of gold. When converting land for a sale deed, keep at least two decimals and round only at the end.
