I was always of the opinion that 1 acre is 200 x 200 and thats why a quarter is 100 by 100.
is an acre 40,000 or 43,560 sqft?
By definition, it is 70yards by 70yards; one yard = 3ft; therefore 210ft x 210ft = 44,100fq-ft
A quarter should be exactly 105ft x 105ft;
But since survey is done in metres and hectares, surveyors try to get approximately 100ft by 100ft.
Such quarters are, however rare because of "regular rectangle" requirement, so you will find quarters measured as 75 x 150...or 74 x 148
An exact 8th should be 52.5 x 105
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.
