Je suis d'accord qu'il faut arrondir, je laisse le soin à Nadmace de juger. 4850 mètres carré me semble bien.

Explanation:

Si c'est pour donner un ordre de grandeur général. A voir selon votre contexte.

Par exemple, pour une relocalisation "Nous avons emmenagé dans des locaux de 4800 m2..."

On ne dirait pas vraiment "dans 4830 m2" dans ce contexte.

J'imagine que la superficie de cette usine ne fait de toute façon pas exactement "52,000 square feet" ! On ne doit pas hésiter à arrondir.

30 m2 sur 4800 m2, c'est assez négligeable (0,6% de la surface totale)

Oh, et avec le 2 en exposant, difficile à faire en ligne !

agree  Tony M: ² = Alt + 0178 [number pad] Yes, quite, there is no point (indeed, it is misleading) to quote more significant figures in the conversion, in case, as you say, it is very likely the original has already been rounded.
