I love this site for any type of conversions: Online Conversion - Convert just about anything to anything else

Since it's units squared, you would divide it by 12^2, or 144, to get feet squared.

Or just use the online unit converters. :)

Google has a built-in converter for most units, so just type in (say)

'1680 square inches to square feet'

in Google and get the answer.

168 sq. in. = 1.16666667 sq. ft.

What is the site?
And what is it that has a 1.17 sq. ft. frontal area?
Certainly not any of your cars!

swept area
 
The term "swept" area is not a technical term I am aware of,Can you list the source and context of it's use? I have heard the term in connection to brake drums and rotors but never with aerodynamics.

heres the site...they could have a digit wrong, like they do for the oil capacity...

Oh fer gosh sakes, that's the brake area. Dang it, it says so right there. :rolleyes:

So is the oil capacity .26 or 26 quarts?
