Work out land area from dimensions instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
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.
Rectangular area
Area (m2) = length x width; hectares = m2 / 10,000; acres = m2 / 4046.856
One acre is 4046.856 m2, which is 0.4047 hectares. One hectare is 2.4711 acres.
The pucca bigha of 2529.3 m2 (3025 sq yards) is used. Bigha varies widely by state, so check your local revenue definition before using the figure in a document.
