Assumptions and limitations

  • An acre can have many shapes. The conversion uses total area and the international foot, without inferring any boundary dimensions.
  • The worked example uses the starting units. A unit selection preserves the quantity, so check the unit before entering a new number.
  • International acres and feet are used. A historical survey-foot acre needs a separate conversion.
