What are the dimensions of 30 square meters?
Any two sides that multiply to 30 give you 30 m². The shapes in half-meter steps, squarest first:
- 5 x 6 m (16.4 x 19.7 ft)
- 4 x 7.5 m (13.1 x 24.6 ft)
- 3 x 10 m (9.8 x 32.8 ft)

Checking the area of a real space
A listing that says 30 m² may count walls, balconies, and storage differently from how you would measure it. With a floor plan, MeasureFloorPlan traces the actual outline once you set the scale from one known wall, in meters or feet, so you get the real number instead of the rounded one.
