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 ...
If the railway ran predominantly north and south, a 10-mile (16 km) township of one square mile sections was allotted on each side of the 400-foot (120 m) right-of-way. The land was granted in alternating sections (one square mile), with each odd numbered section going to the railroad company and each even numbered section kept by the government.
1 acre = 4,840 square yards = 43,560 square feet. An acre is approximately 40% of a hectare. On the atomic scale, area is measured in units of barns, such that: [ 13 ] 1 barn = 10 −28 square meters. The barn is commonly used in describing the cross-sectional area of interaction in nuclear physics.
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 ...
Floor Area ratio is sometimes called floor space ratio (FSR), floor space index (FSI), site ratio or plot ratio. The difference between FAR and FSI is that the first is a ratio, while the latter is an index. Index numbers are values expressed as a percentage of a single base figure. Thus an FAR of 1.5 is translated as an FSI of 150%.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology formerly contended that customary area units are defined in terms of the square survey foot, not the square international foot, [17] but from 2023 it states that "although historically defined using the U.S. survey foot, the statute mile can be defined using either definition of the foot, as is ...
A commonly used land measurement unit in Punjab is karam or square karam. [ 3 ] Other units include the Sarsai and units listed. [ 4 ] This the current system of measurement of farm land. All Units. 1 karam × 1 karam = 1 sq. karam. 5.5 feet × 5.5 feet = 30.25 sq. feet. 30.25 square feet = 1 Sarsai.
In Western UP, 1 bigha is usually equal to 5 biswa i.e. 6,805 square feet (632.2 m 2) or 756 sq yard. In some districts it can be 6.67 biswa i.e. 9,077 square feet (843.3 m 2) or 1,008 square yard. In Eastern UP, 1 bigha is equal to 20 biswa. Hence one Bigha in Purvanchal is 27,225 square feet (2,529.3 m 2) or 3,025 square yard.
