All you need to know about measurements units

Land measurement units are essential tools for land-related activities. They also facilitate land transactions, valuation, taxation, and land use planning. Calculating land area in various units ensures accurate and transparent transactions. Additionally, staying informed about local variations and regulations is crucial.

Area can be measured in various units such as Square meters, Square yards, square feet’s, and many more.

Area Conversion units

Acres

The acre is widely used in India, particularly in real estate and agriculture. One acre is equal to 4,840 square yards or approximately 4,047 square metres. The use of acres is a legacy of British colonial rule, and it remains a popular unit for land transactions in many parts of India.

Square Metres

The square metre is a globally recognised land measurement unit that has gained a lot of popularity in India. Although this unit is primarily used in urban areas across the country, it can also be used to measure agricultural land. One square metre is equivalent to 10.764 square feet. Since it helps facilitate precise land measurements, the square metre is considered to be more suitable for measuring small land areas

Square Feet 

A Square Foot, sq.ft., or ft², is a square area with all 4 sides measuring 1 foot each. It is a common measurement unit used to measure land in most cities of India.

The approximate conversion of 1 Square Foot to other units of measurement is shown below:

 Square Foot to Square Yards: 1 Square Foot = 0.111111 Square Yards (Formula: for an approximate result, divide the area value by 9)

Square Foot to Acres: 1 Square Foot = 0.0000229568 Acres

(Formula: for an approximate result, divide the area value by 43560)

Square Foot to Hectares: 1 Square Foot = 0.0000092903 Hectares (Formula: for an approximate result, divide the area value by 107600)

Square Foot to Square Meters: 1 Square Foot = 0.092903 Square Meters (Formula: for an approximate result, divide the area value by 10.764)
