What is an acre?

The acre is a unit of land commonly employed within North America and the Caribbean. It is equal to 4,047 square metres or 43,560 square feet. This measurement is roughly equivalent to 40 per cent of a hectare. Interestingly enough, the acre can trace its roots back to mediaeval times. It was defined as the area that could be ploughed in a single day with the help of an ox. One acre is approximately 76 per cent the size of a football field. Many suburban lots are between one-quarter and one-fifth of an acre in size. You can find out more about acres in the article, how big is an acre?

What is a square yard?

Although having been somewhat replaced by the square meter, square yards are still used as a measurement of area within the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada. Each side of this square is equivalent to 0.91 meters. So, a square yard is useful in industries such as surveying, land development and real estate. Some abbreviations include sq. yd., yd2, sq yd and yard^2. To get a better idea of this space, the average size of a space within a parking lot is 36 square yards in total (about 30.2 square meters).
