Frequently Asked Questions

How many square feet are in a square metre?

10.7639. It is the square of the linear conversion — one metre is 3.28084 feet, and 3.28084² is 10.7639.

How big is an acre?

4,046.86 square metres, or 43,560 square feet. Historically it was the area one man with one ox could plough in a day, which is why it is not a round number.

What is a bigha?

A South Asian land unit with no single definition — it varies by state and even by district. This converter uses the pucca bigha of 1,600 square yards. Always confirm the local definition before relying on it for a transaction.

How many acres are in a hectare?

2.4711. A hectare is 10,000 square metres, which is a 100 m square — a much tidier unit than the acre, which is why it dominates outside the English-speaking world.
