Primary Conversions from Acre
1. Acre to Square Feet:
\( \text{Square Feet} = \text{Acre} \times 43,560 \)
1 Acre = 43,560 square feet (exact). This is the international standard. Example: 2 Acres = 2 × 43,560 = 87,120 sq ft. 5 Acres = 217,800 sq ft. Reverse: Square feet ÷ 43,560 = Acre. For 10,000 sq ft: 10,000/43,560 = 0.2296 Acre. One acre is approximately 208.71 feet × 208.71 feet square.
2. Acre to Hectare:
\( \text{Hectare} = \text{Acre} \times 0.404686 \)
1 Acre = 0.404686 hectares (ha). Rounded: 0.4047 ha. Example: 1 Acre ≈ 0.4 ha, 2 Acres = 0.809 ha, 5 Acres = 2.023 ha. Reverse: 1 Hectare = 2.47105 Acres ≈ 2.47 Acres. For 1 ha: 1 × 2.47 = 2.47 Acres. Metric to imperial conversion essential for international property.
3. Acre to Square Meter:
\( \text{Square Meter} = \text{Acre} \times 4,046.86 \)
1 Acre = 4,046.86 square meters (m²). Rounded: 4,047 m². Example: 1 Acre ≈ 4,047 m², 2 Acres = 8,094 m², 5 Acres = 20,234 m². Reverse: m² ÷ 4,046.86 = Acre. For 1,000 m²: 1,000/4,047 = 0.247 Acre. International metric standard conversion.
4. Acre to Bigha (UP):
\( \text{Bigha (UP)} = \text{Acre} \times 1.613 \)
Since 1 Bigha (UP) = 27,000 sq ft and 1 Acre = 43,560 sq ft. So, 1 Acre = 43,560/27,000 = 1.613 Bigha. Example: 1 Acre = 1.613 Bigha, 2 Acres = 3.226 Bigha, 5 Acres = 8.065 Bigha. Reverse: 1 Bigha (UP) = 0.62 Acre. Varies by Indian state.
Additional Acre Conversions
5. Acre to Gaj:
\( \text{Gaj} = \text{Acre} \times 4,840 \)
Since 1 Gaj = 9 sq ft. 1 Acre = 43,560/9 = 4,840 Gaj. Example: 1 Acre = 4,840 Gaj, 2 Acres = 9,680 Gaj. Reverse: 1 Gaj = 0.000207 Acre.
6. Acre to Cent:
\( \text{Cent} = \text{Acre} \times 100 \)
1 Acre = 100 Cents (South India). 1 Cent = 435.6 sq ft. Example: 1 Acre = 100 Cents, 0.5 Acre = 50 Cents. Reverse: 1 Cent = 0.01 Acre.

Common South Indian property sizes: 5 Cents plot = 2,178 sq ft (0.05 Acre), 10 Cents = 4,356 sq ft (0.1 Acre), 20 Cents = 8,712 sq ft (0.2 Acre). "Cent" comes from "centum" (Latin for hundred).
What is 1 Dismil in Square Feet?
1 Dismil (also called Decimal) equals 435.6 square feet. Dismil is 1/100th of an Acre (same as Cent). Formula: Square Feet = Dismil × 435.6. 1 Acre = 100 Dismil. Examples: (1) 1 Dismil = 435.6 sq ft. (2) 5 Dismil = 2,178 sq ft. (3) 10 Dismil = 4,356 sq ft. (4) 20 Dismil = 8,712 sq ft. (5) 100 Dismil = 43,560 sq ft = 1 Acre. Reverse: Square Feet ÷ 435.6 = Dismil. For 1,000 sq ft: 1,000/435.6 = 2.3 Dismil. Used in Eastern India (Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Assam, Odisha). "Dismil" derives from "decimal" (1/10 of a katha, which is 1/20 acre in some regions). Note: Dismil = Cent in measurement value (both 435.6 sq ft) but different regional names.
How to convert Guntha to Acre?
Divide Guntha by 40. Formula: Acre = Guntha ÷ 40 or Guntha × 0.025. Since 1 Acre = 40 Gunthas (Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat standard). 1 Guntha = 1,089 square feet = 101.17 square meters.
