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)


You'll certainly get a 'squire deal' of of this measurment, sir! --Arma Martin 3nd 03:34, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
