Literally no one knows

The more you know! doo doo doo... doo!🌈⭐

Guys, I actually came here to learn something!

I live in a neighborhood that is all half acre lots. So an acre is two properties on my street. Easy!

The acre was defined officially as being 1 furlong (40 poles = 660 feet) in length, and 4 poles (66 feet) in breadth.

From the source of the problem.

Whip out your furlongs and poles. Bring some rods and chains, just in case.

I can visualize an acre really well.where I grew up, houses were standard on 1/4 acre blocks so it was just my house and my 3 neighbours houses.

Hectares though, these are the devils unit of area and Ill have no part in them!

Grab a couple of oxen and a plough, and plough all day long. The amount you've done is about an acre

It's an imperial unit based on foot, so there's why. (4840 square feet, wtf)

It's 4046m2 or 63m per side.

A bit bigger than 1/2 standard football pitch, (soccer field) - 7120m2 A bit smaller than American football field - 5350m2

I think the parking lot is pretty accurate when you think of a big parking, for example at IKEA.

I'm pretty sure an acre was originally defined as the area of land that a medieval peasant could plow in one day.

There. I'm glad that's all cleared up.

If American, use sports related analogies. About 2/3 of a football field.

The problem with "1% of the forest where Winnie the Poo lived" is that a) nobody really knows how large that forest actually is, and b) that the real forest of those stories is actually called "1000 acre wood".

The chores!

The stores!

Fresh air!

Times Square!

Is 200 ft by 200 ft equal to one acre? A piece of land that measures 200 ft by 200 ft is the equivalent of 40,000 square feet. One acre contains 43,560 square feet, making the 200 x 200 ft land equal to approximately 0.918 acres.

Gee, if only someone would come up with a system that properly ordered scales of measurement in a logical and sensible way...

It's equal to 4,840 square yards, or 4,046 square meters.

About 4000 square meters.

It's about holds my hands up this wide by holds my hands a little further apart this long, if you picture that being in yards.

in europe we have a and hekta, a is 10m^2 and hekta 100m^2 and km^2 which is 1000m^2 ofc

It's 1/640th of a square mile

It's about a 200x200 foot square (bit larger but that's close enough)
