Comparison of 1 square yard with some Imperial and metric units of area. The square yard (Northern India: gaj, Pakistan: gaz) is an imperial unit and U.S. customary unit of area. It is in widespread use in most of the English-speaking world, particularly the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Pakistan and India.
A killa or acre is measured rectangularly, reckoned as an area 36 karams (198 ft) x 40 karams (220 ft) (43,560 square ft). 1 /5th of a killa or acre is known as bigha 1 Karam = 5.5 feet = 1.83; or Gaj; 1 Yard or Gaj = 36 Inch = 0.91 Metre = 3 feet; 1 Sq Yard = 9 Sq Feet; To convert Sq feet to Sq Yard = Divide by 9
The rod is useful as a unit of length because integer multiples of it can form one acre of square measure (area). The 'perfect acre' [2] is a rectangular area of 43,560 square feet, bounded by sides 660 feet (a furlong) long and 66 feet (a chain) wide (220 yards by 22 yards) or, equivalently, 40 rods by 4 rods. An acre is therefore 160 square ...
1 square foot = 144 square inches, where 144 = 12 2 = 12 × 12. Similarly: 1 square yard = 9 square feet; 1 square mile = 3,097,600 square yards = 27,878,400 square feet; In addition, conversion factors include: 1 square inch = 6.4516 square centimetres; 1 square foot = 0.092 903 04 square metres; 1 square yard = 0.836 127 36 square metres
A decimal is one hundredth of an acre of land, [2] and is equal to 48.4 square yards or 435.6 square feet (40.47 m 2). [1] Decimals are also used as a measure of land in West Africa. [citation needed]
One Katha is equal to 1,361.25 ft 2 or 151.25 square yard or 126.46 square metre. One Bigha in UP can range from 5 to 20 Katha. In Western UP, 1 Bigha can be 5.0 Katha (756.25 square yard) or 6.6667 Katha (1,008.33 square yard). In Eastern UP, 1 Bigha is 20 Katha (3,025 square yard). 1 Katha or 1 Biswa = 20 Dhur or 20 Biswansi; 1 Dhur = 1 Biswansi
One acre equals 1 ⁄ 640 (0.0015625) square mile, 4,840 square yards, 43,560 square feet, [2] or about 4,047 square metres (0.4047 hectares) (see below).While all modern variants of the acre contain 4,840 square yards, there are alternative definitions of a yard, so the exact size of an acre depends upon the particular yard on which it is based.
The only thing that changed was the number of feet and yards in a rod or a furlong, and the number of square feet and square yards in an acre. The definition of the rod went from 15 old feet to 16 + 1 ⁄ 2 new feet, or from 5 old yards to 5 + 1 ⁄ 2 new yards. The furlong went from 600 old feet to 660 new feet, or from 200 old yards to 220 ...
