Frequently asked questions
How big is an acre, really?
About 4,047 m² — roughly 90% of an American football field (without the end zones), or a square about 64 m on each side.
What's the difference between a hectare and an acre?
A hectare is metric (100 m × 100 m = 10,000 m²) and equals about 2.47 acres. Land is usually measured in hectares in metric countries and acres in the US and UK.
How do I convert sq ft to m² quickly?
Divide by 10.764 — or, for a rough figure, just divide by 10 and knock a few percent off. A 1,000 sq ft apartment is about 93 m².
