Not at all.

An acre is an old British unit of area, still used in the U.S. which is now the only non-metric country. It's a very strange unit, equalling 43,560 square feet.

A hectare is the standard metric unit of area and equals 10,000 square meters (i.e. the area of a square 100 meters on a side).

A hectare is roughly 2.5 acres - 2.47 to be more precise.

Kilometer acre gram centimeter milliliter hectogram deciliter?

These units are not directly comparable as they measure different quantities: kilometer measures length, acre measures area, gram measures mass, centimeter measures length, milliliter measures volume, hectogram measures mass, deciliter measures volume. Each unit is used for specific purposes to measure different physical properties.


What fraction of an acre is 0.322 acre?

0.322 acre is 322/1000 acre. This can be simplified to 161/500 acre, which means 0.322 acre is equivalent to 161/500 acre.


How many feet by how many feet equals 1 acre?

43559.45382 ft = 1 acre. square root of 43559.45832 sq ft = 208.73 ft -The U.S. acre is actually an even 43,560 (66x660 or 1/8 mi. by 1/80th). The odd decimal comes from improper use of international feet in a U.S. survey acre. An international acre is 43,560 international feet (exactly 304.8mm each). A U.S. survey acre is still exactly 43,560 feet, they are just very very slightly larger U.S. survey feet which were defined in the late 1890s by the Mendenhall order as 1200/3937 meters (304.8006+ mm). The difference between international feet and U.S. survey feet is so small as to account for only 1/8 inch per mile distance (or 1/64 sq. in. per square mile). Dividing by 640 to get the variance between U.S. and international acres comes out to about 24.5 millionths of a square inch difference between the two acres. The correct number of square international feet in a U.S. survey acre is actually 43559.99999992281, not 43.55945832. Not sure where that number was obtained but it makes the difference out to be far larger than it actually is.


What is the difference between a hectare and an acre and how can it be converted into metric?

A hectare is a metric unit of area equal to 10,000 square meters, while an acre is a unit of area commonly used in the imperial and US customary systems, equivalent to 4,047 square meters. To convert hectares to acres, you can use the conversion factor of 1 hectare = 2.471 acres. Conversely, to convert acres to hectares, you can use the conversion factor of 1 acre = 0.4047 hectares.
