An acre (ac) is an imperial unit of area equal to 43,560 square feet, 4,840 square yards, or approximately 4,046.86 square meters (about 0.4047 hectares).

History

The acre originated in medieval England as the amount of land a yoke of oxen could plow in one day. It was later standardized and remains one of the most recognizable land measurement units in English-speaking countries.

Acres are widely used for measuring land in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and other countries with historical ties to the British imperial system. Real estate, farming, and forestry commonly reference acres.
