16-September-2008 16:15:14 - Acre This article relies largely or entirely upon a single source. For other uses, see Acre disambiguation. The acre is a unit of area in a number of different systems, including the imperial and U.S. customary systems. The most commonly used acres today are the international acre and, in the United States, the survey acre. One international acre is equal 4046.8564224 m2. One U.S. survey acre is equal to 62,726,400,000â?„15,499,969 m2 = 4046.8726098 m2. The area of one acre red overlaid on an American football field The area of one acre red overlaid on an American football field One acre comprises 4,840 square yards or 43,560 square feet1 which can be easily remembered as 44,000 square feet, less 1%. Because of alternative definitions of a yard or a foot, the exact size of an acre also varies slightly. Originally, an acre was a selion of land one furlong long and one chain wide. However, an acre is a measure of area, and has no particular width, length or shape. The acre is often used to express areas of land. In the metric system, the hectare is commonly used for the same purpose. An acre is approximately 40% of a hectare. One acre is 90.75 yards of a 53.33-yard-wide American football field. The full field, including the end zones, covers approximately 1.32 acres.

United States survey acre The United States survey acre is approximately 4046.873 square meters; its exact value 4046+13,525,426â?„15,499,969 m² is based on an inch defined by 1 meter = 39.37 inches exactly, as established by the Mendenhall Order. It is the standard acre in the United States, but the fractional difference from the international acre is only 40 millionths, or 4 ten-thousandths of one percent. Equivalence to other units of area 1 international acre is equal to the following metric units: 4046.8564224 square meters 0.40468564224 hectare 1 United States survey acre is equal to: 4046.87261 square meters 0.404687261 hectare 1 acre both variants is equal to the following customary units: 66 feet × 660 feet 43,560 square feet 1 chain x 10 chains 1-chain = 66 feet or 22 yards or 4 rods 1 acre is approximately 208.71 feet x 208.71 feet square 4840 square yards 160 perches.

It may have originated from the typical length of a mediaeval ox-goad. 2: The furlong meaning furrow length was the distance a team of oxen could plow without resting. This was standardized to be exactly 40 rods. 3: An acre was the amount of land tillable by one man behind one ox in one day. Traditional acres were long and narrow due to the difficulty in turning the plow. 3: An oxgang was the amount of land tillable by one ox in a plowing season. This could vary from village to village, but was typically around 15 acres. 4: A virgate was the amount of land tillable by two oxen in a plowing season. 5: A carucate was the amount of land tillable by a team of eight oxen in a plowing season. This was equal to 8 oxgangs or 4 virgates. Farm derived units of measurement: 1: The rod is a historical unit of length equal to 5.5 yards.

The word acre is derived from Old English æcer originally meaning open field, cognate to west coast Norwegian language ækre and Swedish Ã¥ker, German Acker, Latin ager and Greek αγÏ?ος agros. The acre was approximately the amount of land tillable by one man behind an ox in one day. This explains one definition as the area of a rectangle with sides of length one chain and one furlong. A long narrow strip of land is more efficient to plough than a square plot, since the plough does not have to be turned so often. The word furlong itself derives from the fact that it is one furrow long. Before the enactment of the metric system, many countries in Europe used their own official acres. These were differently sized in different countries, for instance, the historical French acre was 4221 square metres, whereas in Germany as many variants of acre existed as there were German states. Statutory values for the acre were enacted in England by acts of: Edward I, Edward III, Henry VIII, George IV and Victoria - the British Weights and Measures Act of 1878 defined it as containing 4,840 square yards. Historically, the size of farms and landed estates in the United Kingdom was usually expressed in acres or acres, roods, and perches, even if the number of acres was so large that it might conveniently have been expressed in square miles. For example, a certain landowner might have been said to own 32,000 acres of land, not 50 square miles of land. Customary acre The customary acre was a measure of roughly similar size to the acre described above, but was subject to considerable local variation. However, there were more ancient measures that were also used, including carucates, virgates, bovates, nooks, and farundells or farthingales. These may have been multiples of the customary acre, rather than the statute acre.
