One acre equals 0.0015625 square miles, 4,840 square yards, 43,560 square feet or about 4,047 square metres (0.405 hectares) (see below). While all modern variants of the acre contain 4,840 square yards, there are alternative definitions of a yard, so the exact size of an acre depends on which yard it is based.
It is important to realise that an acre can be measured in any shape-from rectangles to circles or even hexagons-so long as the total area of land is 43,560 square feet. The most common shape for an acre is 1 furlong by 1 chain, or 660 feet by 66 feet. (. ). If you're struggling to get your head around just how big that area actually is, try visualising a soccer pitch, 75% of an American football field or 16 tennis courts in a 4x4 formation. If that doesn't help, consider a car park containing 150 cars parked in a square.
