An acre is a common measurement of area, a mile is a unit of distance. There are 640 acres in one square mile, so one acre equals 43,560 square feet (4,840 square yards).
In ancient times, the acre was the area of land that could be plowed in one day using a team (two) of oxen.
The statute mile is so named because it was standardized by an act of Parliament in 1593, i.e., standardized by statute. It is also called a surveyors mile, or more commonly, mile. The mile is based on the old Roman unit of distance, the mil (meaning thousand) that was equal to one thousand paces (two steps). Stones were placed every mil along roads to indicate the distance to Rome, thus the term milestones, and the saying "All roads lead to Rome."
