Treat squared units like in² as (in x in). This means that we need to repeat the conversion twice. Notice after cancelling, your units are (ft x ft) which is ft².
 1ft = 12in 
How many ft² are in 5.76 in²?

To convert 5.76 in² to ft², we'll apply the conversion factor twice because the unit is squared. Here's the process:

### Step 1: Conversion factor
We know that:
\[
1 \, \text{ft} = 12 \, \text{in}
\]
So, for square units:
\[
1 \, \text{ft}^2 = (12 \, \text{in}) \times (12 \, \text{in}) = 144 \, \text{in}^2
\]

### Step 2: Apply the conversion
To convert 5.76 in² to ft², we divide by 144:
\[
5.76 \, \text{in}^2 \times \frac{1 \, \text{ft}^2}{144 \, \text{in}^2} = \frac{5.76}{144} \, \text{ft}^2
\]

### Step 3: Calculation
\[
\frac{5.76}{144} = 0.04 \, \text{ft}^2
\]

So, 5.76 in² is equivalent to 0.04 ft².
