Skill 5: Know your
areas
- Hectare: A hectare is a square that's
100 meters by 100 meters (10,000 square meters),
or a square 300 feet by 300 feet (90,000 square
feet). In U.S. acres, a hectare is 2.47 acres.
Estimate: 2.5 acres per hectare. Heck,
I can remember two and half!
- And if you've always wondered how large
an acre is, it's 43,560 square feet. In
metric terms, that's 4,047 square meters.
Estimate: 40,000 square feet, or 4,000
square meters per acre. Or, picture a square
that's 200 feet by 200 feet. Get out there in
your "40 X 4" to check out that land parcel.
