What unit of Land Measure is technically defined as 1 furlong wide by 1 chain long?
Answer: (Drag mouse from left arrow to right)
> An Acre.
A furlong is 220 yards, and a chain (a unit of measure used by surveyors) is 22 yards. This equates to 43,560 square feet.
An acre is 1/640 of 1 square mile.
An acre is an approximation of how much land 1 ox could plow in 1 day.
The Acre is an Imperial unit (inches, gallons, etc), the Hectare is the rough equivalent in the Metric system, a Hectare being roughly 2.5 times more land. <
