Land measurement question
I can visualize kilometers and miles, but not acres, so I figured Id ask the land nav gurus. How many Klicks would be in 9 acres?
Thanks for any help.

http://www.metric-conversions.org/ar...kilometers.htm
km^2 = Acres/247.11
.04km^2 = 9/247.11
that's the official formula, but it doesn't seem accurate to me...

You might want to ask a dictionary first and then think about your question for a bit.

Kilometers and miles are linear measurements - an acre is 43,560 sf or 1 chain by 1 furlong.
If you had an acre of land 1 foot wide it would be 43,560 feet long or 8.25 miles long. Not much you could do with it though.
An acre is roughly 209 x 209 feet.
