working out acreage

[Stinkbomb]

If my field is 82 Metres by 52 metres how do i work out the acreage?

I think it is just over 1 acre.

82x52 = 4264m squared.
Bob that into a converter and you get 1.05 acres.

Does that sound about right from the size of your field?

Ah thanks, looks about right!! Im rubbish at maths

Area = 180' x 100' *= 18,000 sq. ft.

Convert 18,000 square feet into acres by dividing by 43,560 square feet per acre: *

Area = 18,000 sq. ft. ÷ 43,560 sq. ft. = 0.4 acres

So 82m is 269 ft
52m is 171 ft

269 × 171 = 45999

45999 / 43560 = 1.06 acres

Google acerage calculator, measure your paddocks by google earth!

I would second that but you need Google Earth PRO as this lets you zoom in on the field - draw around the outline and then gives you the area in acres !! I have just bought 2 acres (part of a larger field) from a farmer and used this to check his measurements (and gained a bit more than he was going to give me !).

Free tool here:

ets zoom in to where you want, then select satellite, then left mouse click on each point on the edge of your field, it colours in the selected area green and the field size is then given at the bottom.
