Frequently asked questions
- How big is an acre?
- An acre is 4,046.86 square metres, or about 0.405 hectares. It is roughly the size of a sports pitch. A hectare, by contrast, is a clean 10,000 square metres, which is why land in metric countries is often measured in hectares rather than acres.
- How do I convert square metres to square feet?
- Multiply square metres by about 10.764 to get square feet, since one metre is 3.28084 feet and area scales with the square of that. The converter does it exactly, which matters for ordering flooring or tiles where small errors add up.
- How many square feet are in an acre?
- An acre is 43,560 square feet. That odd-looking number comes from its history as one chain by one furlong, 66 feet by 660 feet. Knowing it helps when a plot is listed in acres but a build is quoted per square foot.
