| Convert from are to square chain [Gunter, survey] |
Unit Definition (are) The are is a unit of area equal to 100 square meters. The word is pronounced the same as "air". Being the area of a square 10 meters on each side, the are is a little large for measuring areas indoors and a little small for measuring areas outdoors. As a result, the are is not used as often as its multiple, the hectare (ha). One are is approximately 1076.3910 square feet, 119.5990 square yards, or 0.02471 acre. Unit Definition (square chain [Gunter, survey]) The square chain [Gunter, survey] is a traditional unit of area in English surveying, defined to be the area of a square whose side equals Gunter's chain (4 rods or 22 yards). Thus the square chain equals 16 square rods, 484 square yards, 4356 square feet, or exactly 0.1 acre.
