convert 50 square meters to square inches
-------------------
Convert to sq. ft, then convert to square inches.
----------------------------------------------------
50 meter^2[3.281ft/meter][3.281ft/meter][12in/1ft][12in/1ft]
---------------------------------------------------------------
= [50*3.281*3.281*12*12]/[1*1*1*1] in^2
----
= 77507.72 sq in
