| Convert from farthingdale to tarea |
Unit Definition (farthingdale) The Farthingdale is an older name for the rood, a unit of land area equal to 1/4 acre (0.1012 hectare). "Farthingdale," like "fardel," means a fourth part. Unit Definition (tarea) The tarea is a traditional unit of land area in the Dominican Republic and some parts of Central America. The tarea is generally equal to 900 square varas, so it is the area of a square 30 varas (about 25.05 meters) on a side. In the Dominican Republic, the tarea equals about 628 square meters or 751 square yards; this is 0.0628 hectare or 0.155 acre. The Spanish word tarea means a task or job, so this unit, like many land area units, originated as the area which could be "worked" in a given time.
