About Land Area From Dimensions Calculator

Land area is the plot footprint in square metres converted into the units a farm actually trades in: hectares for agronomy, acres for leases and bigha for local records. A rectangle is length x width, a right triangle is half of that, and an elliptical plot is pi x semi-major x semi-minor.

Formula

Rectangular area

Area (m2) = length x width; hectares = m2 / 10,000; acres = m2 / 4046.856

Worked example

With the default values below, Land Area From Dimensions Calculator returns Area of 2.3722. Change any input above and every figure here is recalculated in your browser.

Assumptions and limits

  • The result is derived only from the 3 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
  • In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
  • Figures are rounded for display to 4 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.
