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

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.

draw a nice 3×3 square. and make lines vertically and horizonally for each inch. now darken the lines 1 inch from a corner of choice. You’ve gone 1/3 the way each time, but the darker square is only 1/9 the size of your original square.
