How this conversion works
Land is sold by the acre in the US and UK countryside and by the hectare almost everywhere else. Type either side: a 40-acre field is 16.19 ha; a 5-hectare vineyard is 12.36 acres.
An acre began as the area a team of oxen could plough in a day — one furlong long by one chain wide — which is why it lands at the odd size of 4,840 square yards. The hectare is the tidy modern unit: exactly 10,000 m², a square 100 m on a side. A football pitch is about 0.71 ha, or 1.76 acres.
The exact formula
hectares = acres × 0.40468564224
The acre is 4,840 square yards; at exactly 0.83612736 m² per square yard, that is 4,046.8564224 m² = 0.40468564224 ha. The reverse is acres = hectares ÷ 0.40468564224 (1 ha = 2.471054 acres).
