acres

n. unit of area used to measure plots of ground (equal to 4, 840 square yards or 4, 046.86 square meters)

This entry is about the unit of area. For other meanings see Acre (disambiguation) The acre is a unit of area in a number of different systems, including the imperial and US customary systems. The most commonly used acres today are the international acre and, in the United States, the survey acre. One acre comprises 4,840 square yards or 43,560 square feet. Because of alternative definitions of a yard or a foot, the exact size of an acre also varies slightly. Traditionally, an acre was a swath of land one furlong long and one chain wide. A modern acre can have arbitrary dimensions as long as the area is correct. For example, a strip of land 1 inch wide and 99 miles long is also an acre.
