==Value in acres
I was checking the values listed on this page. The page currently says that 1 sq km equals 247.105383 acres.
The GNU units program gives 247.10439 acres
The National Oceanographic Data Center say 247.105381 acres [1]
The Google calculator also says 247.105381 acres [2]
I think 247.105381 is probably right. It is a pretty minor thing but it would be good to get it right. I will try to do some more checking, but welcome any comments from others. -- Popsracer 11:21, 29 Sep 2003 (UTC)
- 1 sq km = 1,000,000 sq m
- 0.30482 sq m = 1 sq ft
- 16.52 sq ft = 1 sq rod
- 160 sq rods = 1 acre
- 1 sq km = 247.105381467 acres
- er... I think... Evil saltine 11:44, 29 Sep 2003 (UTC)
- GNU Units assumes the U.S. survey acre instead of the international acre. The figure 247.105383 has an error in its last digit. -- Indefatigable 16:58, 30 Sep 2003 (UTC)
- That's why the metric system is the best. A metre is a metre is a metre, and a kilometre is a kilometre is a kilometre. None of this business of having to remember whether you're British or American, land-based or nautical, civilian or military, and so on. JIP | Talk 18:30, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
