The land area in acres.
A hectare is 10,000 square metres — a square 100 m on a side — which makes it a far more tractable unit than the acre for calculation.
Land area
4.047 ha
1 acre = 0.4046856 ha; a hectare is 10,000 m² exactly. A hectare is about 2.47 acres — the rough two-and-a-half rule is fine for conversation, not for a transaction.
- Conversion factor applied
- 0.4 ha per acre

Land descriptions cross this boundary whenever a site is discussed internationally or a metric planning submission is prepared from imperial survey data. The conversion is exact, and the shape of the two units explains why one is easier to work with: a hectare is a hundred metres square, exactly ten thousand square metres, so densities and coverage rates divide out cleanly. An acre's 43,560 square feet divides into nothing convenient, which is why calculations built on it tend to carry more intermediate rounding. Where a document uses both units, it is worth stating which is authoritative rather than leaving a reader to convert and discover a discrepancy.
