Frequently Asked Questions
How many square feet are in an acre?
One acre equals 43,560 square feet. To visualize, an acre is roughly the size of a football field without the end zones (which is 48,000 sq ft). A perfect square acre would measure about 208.7 feet on each side.
What is the difference between an acre and a hectare?
An acre is 43,560 square feet (about 4,047 square meters). A hectare is 10,000 square meters (about 107,639 square feet or 2.471 acres). Hectares are used in most countries outside the US and UK. One hectare is roughly 2.5 acres.
How do I measure irregular-shaped land in acres?
For irregular shapes, break the land into simpler shapes (rectangles, triangles), calculate each area separately, and add them together. For very irregular parcels, GPS surveying tools or the county assessor's records provide the most accurate measurements.
