In Puerto Rico, a cuerda is a traditional unit of land area nearly equivalent to 3,930 square meters, [1] [2] or 4,700 square yards, 0.971 acre, or 0.393 hectare (ha). The precise conversion is 1 cuerda = 3,930.395625 m 2. [2] The term "Spanish acre" instead has been used sometimes by mainlanders. [1]
In Argentina it is a hectare, 10,000 m 2. In most Central American countries it is about 7,000 m 2 (1.7 acres), varying between countries. In Belize it is 8,353 m 2 (2.064 acres). In Nicaragua it is 7,042.25 m 2 (1.74018 acres). If a vara is taken as 83.59 cm, then a manzana of 10,000 square vara s is equal to 6,987.29 m 2.
As the name suggests, an acre-foot is defined as the volume of one acre of surface area to a depth of one foot. Since an acre is defined as a chain by a furlong (i.e. 66 ft × 660 ft or 20.12 m × 201.17 m), an acre-foot is 43,560 cubic feet (1,233.5 m 3). There has been two definitions of the acre-foot (differing by about 0.0006%), using ...
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.

In Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, the official conversion is 1 arpent = 0.84628 acres (3,424.8 square metres). [2] In Arkansas and Missouri, the official conversion is 1 arpent = 0.8507 acres (3,443 square metres). [3] In Paris, the square arpent was 220 French feet × 220 French feet = 48,400 French square feet, about 5,107 ...
A league is equivalent to 5,000 varas squared or 4,428.4 acres (1,792.11 ha). Standardisation of measurement in Texas came with the introduction of varas, cordeles, and leagues. A measure of 100 by 100 varas (Spanish) is almost 7000 square meters, and is known traditionally throughout Spain and Latin America as a manzana (i.e., a
