Also known as acres, ac

The acre ( ) is a unit of land area used in the British imperial and the United States customary systems. It is traditionally defined as the area of one chain by one furlong (66 by 660 feet), which is exactly equal to 10 square chains, of a square mile, 4,840 square yards, or 43,560 square feet, and approximately 4,047 m2, or about 40% of a hectare. The acre is sometimes abbreviated ac, but is usually spelled out as the word "acre".

AI overview

An acre is a unit of land area used in the British and American measurement systems, traditionally defined as a rectangular plot measuring one chain by one furlong (66 by 660 feet), which equals 43,560 square feet or roughly 4,047 square meters. It matters because it's the standard way people in the United States and British Commonwealth countries measure and describe land area for property, farming, and real estate purposes.
