The acre-foot is a non- SI unit of volume equal to about 1,233 m 3 commonly used in the United States in reference to large-scale water resources, such as reservoirs, aqueducts, canals, sewer flow capacity, irrigation water, [1] and river flows. An acre-foot equals approximately an eight-lane swimming pool, 82 ft (25 m) long, 52 ft (16 m) wide ...
The entire yellow square is one square mile; the dark blue area at right represents 100 acres. The acre (/ ˈeɪkər / AY-kər) is a unit of land area used in the British imperial and the United States customary systems. It is traditionally defined as the area of one chain by one furlong (66 by 660 feet), which is exactly equal to 10 square ...
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 primary grid pattern is of quarter sections (1⁄2 mi × 1⁄2 mi (800 m × 800 m)). In U.S. land surveying under the Public Land Survey System (PLSS), a section is an area nominally one square mile (2.6 square kilometers), containing 640 acres (260 hectares), with 36 sections making up one survey township on a rectangular grid.

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 ...
In Bihar, one Katha may vary from 720 to 3,267 square feet (ft 2). 1 Bigha = 20 Katha. One katha is divided in 20 dhur. One dhur is subdivided in 20 dhurki. The origin of the term and measurement unit was during the Pala Empire. [1] 1 Decimal = 435.6 square feet & 1 Acre = 100 decimal. [2] [3] In Patna & Arrah, 1 Katha is equal to 1,361.25 ft 2 ...

An American football field, including both end zones, is 360 by 160 ft (120.0 by 53.3 yd; 109.7 by 48.8 m), or 57,600 square feet (5,350 m 2) (0.535 hectares or 1.32 acres). A Canadian football field is 65 yards (59 m) wide and 110 yards (100 m) long with end zones adding a combined 40 yards (37 m) to the length, making it 87,750 square feet ...
