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 ...
Rood is an English unit of area equal to one quarter of an acre [2] or 10,890 square feet, exactly 1,011.7141056 m 2. A rectangle that is one furlong (i.e., 10 chains , or 40 rods) in length and one rod in width is one rood in area, as is any space comprising 40 perches (a perch being one square rod).
We may need to convert land area units such as aana to dhur, dhur to aana, kattha to aana, ropani to bigha, square meter to aana, square meter to dhur etc, For such area units conversion you may use Area Converter Calculator. [3] The precise land measurement conversions as per Nepal standard are as follows:
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 ...
The only exceptions to this rule are special requirements for measurement in feet in mineral surveys and townsite surveys. [13] Linear Measurement 1 Chain = 100 links or 66 feet 1 Mile = 80 chains or 5,280 feet. Area Measurement 1 Acre = 10 square chains or 43,560 square feet 1 square mile = 640 acres
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 ...
