What is an acre?
An acre is a measurement of land area used in the Imperial measurement system (U.S.A. and informally in the U.K. and its former colonies). It was originally the amount of land a yoke of oxen could plow in a day. Now, it is defined as an area measuring one chain by one furlong — not entirely more useful units either!
How to calculate acres?
To calculate acres by hand, multiply your length and width (in feet) to get square feet. Try our length conversion tools, if needed. Then divide by 43,560 to determine the size of the land in acres. You can quickly find the square footage of an area using our square feet area calculator .
