1 square foot is equal to 12 inches x 12 inches = 144 square inches. Since 1 inch is equal to 2.54 cm, 1 square inch is equal to (2.54 cm)*(2.54 cm) = 6.4516 square cm. Therefore, 1 square foot is equal to 144 square inches x 6.4516 square cm/square inch = 929.0304 square cm (rounded to the nearest hundredth).
