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.
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).
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
For instance, if a city has a minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet, only eight full homes can be built on a single acre of land (1 acre = 43,560 square feet). However, if that minimum lot size is ...
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.
Hence each Katha is 2,880 square feet (268 m 2) in area, although this may vary within different regions of Assam. 4 bighas together are further termed as a Pura. 1 Katha = 2,880 square feet (268 m 2) or 320 sq yard; 1 Lessa = 144 square feet (13.4 m 2) or 16 sq yard; 1 Acre = 3.025 bigha and 1 Hectare = 7.475 bigha (Assam)
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.
