Hi Guys,

I did a search on this piece of property and the approx area is given as 0.038 ha.

In terms of 1/4, 1/8, etc does this mean the land is 1/32 or 1/8 subdivided into 4 pieces?

Thanks.

0.038 hectares = 0.093900045 acres

I hope this will help ?

I Kenya, the common parlance when it comes to land measurement is ACRES, that said, the land is approx. 0.093898 Acres(Acre=Ha X 2.471). This means is slighly less than an eighth of an acre 0.1250.

Thanks guys. I actually was thinking there is no difference between acres and hactares.

This is good. It will help me in getting decided on whether to buy.

@ Gath, It's HECTARES. 1hectare (ha) is equivalent to land measuring 100 metres by 100 metres or 10000 square metres.

1 acre is equivalent to 0.4047ha

10Mx10M=100 SQUARE METRES= 1 ACRE

Bkismat, you are wrong!if 1ac is 100sqm and 1ha is 10,000sqm, it means 1ha is 100acres! I would take 100ac anytime!

hi,
0.038ha = 4090 sq.ft
taking 1 side as 100ft
=> 4090/100 = 40.9ft
hence the size becomes 40 x 100ft
or 50 x 80 ft
or there about.

10m is very small. Its just approx 30ft! An eighth is roughly 50ft x 100ft.

WRONG!

VERY WRONG!

Do you really think 1ha = 100acres? that's what you calculation gives.

Acres are imperial quantities, so they are NOT define in terms of metres. My diary says 1acre = 4,840 square yards; 1 yard = 3ft, 1ft = 12 inches, 1inch = 2.54cm

Now if you work backwards, you will see that you are very wrong.

My diary says, 1ha = approx 2.4711acres.

=============

Now; what we call 1/8 is actually approx 50ft x 100ft. I.e., 5,000sq.ft. But if check 1/8 of acre from the diary definition, you find that it is bigger than 5,000sq.ft.

My guess is that if the plot is surveyed as a proper rectangle, it probably measures 40ft x 80ft

U r wrong on the first but right on the second one.

1 acre=4046.9 sq. M (say 40 X 100 Metres.)
1 hectare= 10,000 sq. M (100M X 100M)

Hectare sawa. 100m*100m or a football field. I thought an acre was 220ft by 220ft but something is not adding up. How do we arrive at 2.471 as we know it?

Why bother your brain stuff with all those conversion when Dr.Internet the great mathematician is there? I always go HERE for conversion needs and more.

Answer::
An acre is actually, slightly less than (220 ft by 220 ft)
1 acre is approx. 43,560 sft , that should be around (220 ft X 198 ft)

If u do the conversion, 1 hectare (10,000 sqm) to sft should give you 107,643 sft (10,000/0.0929 or 10,000 X 10.7643)

so working with these:-

107,643/43,560 = 2.4711

Good site, but it pays having some basic knowledge to sort u out when 'Dr. Internet' is not around.
