| Convert from section to cuerda |
Unit Definition (section) The section is a traditional unit of area in the U.S., equal to 1 square mile. This unit is used by the U.S. Public Land Survey System, which applies to most of the U.S. except for the original 13 states, Alaska, and Hawaii. Unit Definition (cuerda) The Cuerda is a traditional unit of land area in Puerto Rico. The cuerda is equal to about 3930 square meters, 4700 square yards, 0.393 hectare, or 0.971 acre. Because the cuerda and the acre are so close to being equal, they are often treated informally as being equal. Mainlanders sometimes call the unit the "Spanish acre."
