Frequently asked questions
How many square feet are in an acre?
43,560 ft² — a standard land unit in the US and UK.
Is a hectare metric?
Yes. It is 100 m × 100 m, so 10,000 m², common in agriculture outside the US.
Limits and interpretation
- Area conversion squares the underlying length factor; using a plain length factor produces a wrong result.
- Land records may use survey-specific definitions and rounding that differ from a general-purpose converter.
