A foot is approx. 1/3 of a meter. Why isn’t a sq ft 1/3rd of a sq meter?

Question

A foot is 0,30m and a sq ft is 0,09m. I know some will say because 0,3 times 0,3 is 0,09 but that wouldn’t explain the break of logic as I perceive it.

Answer 1

You perceive it incorrectly. The first guys answer is right.

1 ft x 1 ft = 1 Sq ft. 3 ft x 3 ft = 9 Sq ft.
