 Hectares
to Acres Conversions - The hectare (symbol
ha) is a unit of area defined as 10,000 square metres, which is primarily
used in the measurement of land. In 1795, when the metric system was introduced,
the are was defined as being 100 square metres and the hectare ('hecto-'
+ 'are') was thus 100 ares or 1/100 km2. When the metric system was rationalised
in 1960 with the introduction of the International System of Units (SI),
international recognition of the are was withdrawn, though the hectare
continued to be recognised as a "unit of measure that may be used with
SI". The acre is a unit of area in a number of different systems, including
the imperial and U.S. customary systems. The most commonly used acres today
are the international acre and, in the United States, the survey acre.
The most common use of the acre is to measure tracts of land. One acre
comprises 4,840 square yards, 43,560 square feet[1] or about 4,046.86 square
meters (0.404686 hectares) |

 Unpresumptuous
Agnostic Conversions! - Isn't it frustrating when someone tells you that
it's 30° Celsius, and you don't know have a clue to what that means,
because your brain is in Fahrenheit? Or,
you're in a dynamite clothing store in Milan, and you don't know what the
sizes are because everything is in Italian sizes, which differ from the
size designation you're accustomed to. We've got an index here with 16
pages of conversion engines. They are simple web engines that will
convert Metric to Imperial and also do other types of conversions.
There is another type of conversion of course; you know, being converted
from being a Phrenologist to a Rosicrucianism, or a Republican to a Zen
Monk. We are convinced that there is nothing more obscene than the
lust to convert. Hence; in creating this page of 16 conversion engines,
we designed them all to be agnostic and unpresumptuous, with respect for
your sovereignty and dignity in mind. - More
