Convert meters to hectares online. Irregular land plot area calculator

Area units are often used. This is the measurement of various areas in the apartment, and the measurement of the construction area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe house, the calculation of the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe garden or any other land plot. We usually measure area in square meters. But often these very meters have to be converted into hectares.

What is a hectare?

hectare on wikipedia

Hectare (Russian designation: ha; international: ha; from hecto- and ar) is an off-system unit of area measurement, equal to the area of ​​a square with a side of 100 m. International Committee of Weights and Measures in 1879. The hectare is now approved by the International Committee for Weights and Measures for use with the units of the International System of Units (SI).

Almost everyone who is somehow connected with land work (be it an engineer or just a gardener) knows perfectly well how to convert square meters into a hundred square meters and vice versa. Moreover, all garden plots measured in hundreds. True, here we must remember how the area is measured. To measure the area of ​​any rectangular shape, you need to multiply its length by its width.

What is a hundred? Weaving is a square, where one side is equal to 10 meters. Thus, we get that weaving has an area equal to 100 square meters. But the name weaving is commonplace. In the system of measures, it is called ar. A hectare, on the other hand, is a unit of area that is 100 times larger than an are.

The prefix "hecto" in the word "hectare" means multiplication by 10, and the second part - "ar", differs from the SI system of length units by 10. Hence 100 is obtained.

Thus, we get that there are 100 ares in one hectare. If 1 ar is equal to 100 square meters, then there are 10,000 of them in a hectare. That is, it turns out that it is a square with sides of 100 meters and its area is 10,000 square meters (100 times 100). In order to imagine how some units of area are converted to others, I will give the following table below.

So, 1 ha is equal to:

1 ha \u003d 10,000 m² \u003d 100 a \u003d 100 acres \u003d 0.01 km²

The square meter will then be equal to the reverse translation: 1 divided by 10,000 and we get 0.0001, i.e. 1 sq.m. = 0.0001 ha. Thus, to convert square meters into hectares, you need to divide the required number of these same square meters by 10,000 or multiply by 0.0001 (this is the same thing).

How to convert square meters to hectares and vice versa:

1. How many hectares will be in 758 square meters?

758:10000 = 0.0758 ha or 758*0.0001 = 0.0758 ha

1. How many square meters are there in 6 hectares?

6*10,000 = 60,000 sq.m.

An example of a "garden" type. We have 6 acres, how many square meters will it be?

Since we already know that weaving is an are, we determine how many square meters are in an are. In the table we see that this is 100 sq.m. Therefore, 6 acres or 6 ares will amount to 600 sq.m. Well, in terms of hectares: 600:10,000 or 600*0.0001=0.06 ha.

So, in order to perform an oral translation of one value into another, you must do the following:

1) Decide on the direction of the translation. If the conversion is carried out in standard units of area, then here once and for all we remember how many square meters in a hectare. Knowing this, you can divide the number you need by ten thousand. If we carry out a reverse translation, then the right number multiply by 0.0001.

2) The main thing that needs to be done correctly when translating one value into another is not to lose zeros, otherwise you will incorrectly calculate the area where you could put good house, otherwise they will build something like a bathhouse instead of a house.

By the way! There are many online calculators on the Internet through which you can get this answer quickly and easily.

We often have to measure the area of ​​a plot of land and convulsively remember how much m2 fits in a hectare. The reasons for this can be very different. Whether we wanted to buy a summer cottage for ourselves, or whether the idea arose to seriously engage in agriculture, or perhaps it was necessary to help the child solve a school problem.

We remember the basics

The basis for area measurement is square meter. This is a square, the length of each side of which is equal to one meter.

The next measuring unit in agriculture is weaving. 100 square meters. This is also a square, the side of which is 10 meters.

And the third unit of measure is the hectare. This is again a square, the side of which is 100 meters. How many square meters in a hectare is easy to calculate. The answer is 10,000 meters.

Where to apply?

Why do we need different units measurements for the same - area? Isn't it easier to measure everything, for example, in square meters? No, it's not easier.

Square meters are used to measure residential areas (apartments, houses, rooms), as well as the area of ​​subsidiary farms: sheds, pigsties, chicken coops and others.

If you want to measure the land subsidiary farm, such as a garden or a vegetable garden, it is most reasonable to use such a unit of measurement as a weave. The average size private land in our country is 5 acres. How much easier it is to imagine than 500 square meters.

Hectare is a unit of measurement for those who want to practice agriculture professionally.

Let's imagine a situation. You have decided to grow wheat. Doing this on a few acres is simply not profitable. It is believed that for the cultivation of each crop, there is a minimum and maximum area that needs to be processed. For example, the same wheat - from 100 hectares.

If you start growing a crop on a plot less than the minimum recommended, then you will be at a loss.

It's the same with other cultures. If you decide to purchase a plot to grow berries and vegetables after work, then your unit of measurement is acres. But if the cultivation of agricultural products has become your main job, if you are ready to purchase agricultural equipment and much more, so necessary for this, then your unit of measurement is a hectare. By the way, when buying agricultural machinery, you will again need knowledge of the measuring units of the area. Indeed, for such equipment as a tractor and a combine, fuel consumption and productivity are measured just for the cultivated area, and here again knowledge of how many meters per hectare will be useful to you.

Where do all units of measurement meet?

In fact, there are many such examples. But here we will consider one that is closest to the agricultural theme.

Imagine you bought a plot of land outside the city, say 10 hectares. And they decided to make a garden partnership or a cottage settlement on this territory. Each lot will be 5 acres. In order to calculate the number of plots, you will need meters, acres, and hectares.

Do you think it's enough to figure out: a hectare is how many acres? Where will your roads be? Will you have boundaries between sections of the boundary? Where will communications (gas, water, electricity) go?

Accordingly, it will turn out that:

• in hectares you will calculate the entire land plot;
• in acres, allotments that you will sell;
• in square meters you will consider communications.

So, on the plan of your business project there will be all three units of area.

The need to measure the distance and land area has existed since ancient times, when ancient people began to move around the territories, use plots of soil for growing plants, and separate the territory for the existence of their tribe. Units of measurement have come a long way. Their names and sizes have changed.

Examples of Russian units of measurement of lengths that have come down to us are: a mile, a verst, a sazhen, an arshin, a vershok.The area in Russia was measured: a square verst, a tithe, a square sazhen.

1960 was the year of the Eleventh General Conference on Weights and Measures. At it, the participants approved international system SI units. 7 basic, additional and derived units of measurement were adopted.

The modern metric system is used in almost all countries of the planet. According to the SI system, the basic unit of measurement for length is the meter, and for area, the square meter.

Where are hectares and acres used

The standard use of a hectare in Russia is to measure the area of ​​land. However, the official units of the system are also used for the same purposes. SI - square meters.

In most cases, the calculation of the land area in hectares is carried out to determine the land tax and land share. To do this, after measuring the area, its area is calculated and converted into points, which are converted into a personal coefficient. Calculation of the area in hectares will also be needed in the areas of land planning, urban planning and forestry.

Do not do without measuring the area in hectares in sports. For example, the calculation of the field area known and loved by everyone american game– rugby takes place exclusively in hectares. Not less than interesting fact: The football field where international matches are played has a recommended size of 105 by 86 meters and an area of ​​0.714 hectares.
The calculation of the plot area in acres is used for the sale and purchase of land.

What is 1 hectare

Hectare (designation: Russian - ha, international - ha; from hecto- and ar) - a unit that measures the area (not included in the C system). In size, a hectare is equal to the area of ​​a square, the side of which is 100 m. It exists in the legal and metric systems. AT Russian Federation the unit of measurement is approved for use without time limit and with the scope of application in agriculture and forestry.

Hectare size in square meters

The area of ​​the land plot, where both the length and width is equal to one hundred meters - this is 1 ha, it is equal to 10,000 meters squared. If you know the dimensions of the plot required for the calculation (length and width), then determining the number of hectares in the area is quite simple.

To do this, take a pen, paper and a calculator, and do simple calculations:

1. Determine the area of ​​the plot. To do this, just multiply the length of the area by the width.
2. If the result is more than 10,000 square meters, then your plot is more than one hectare.
3. For exact definition number of hectares, divide the result obtained in the first step by 10000.

Remember! On one square kilometer, 100 plots of 1 hectare can be located.

What is a cell

Weaving is a colloquial word derived from the numeral "hundred". Saying "weave of land", they mean a plot whose area is 1ar.

Ar (Russian designation a) is the unit by which area is measured. Ap is not included in the international SI system and means the area of ​​an equilateral quadrangle with a side of 10 meters. It is the official unit for measuring area in the French Republic.

1 a \u003d 100 square meters \u003d 0.01 ha.

In order to imagine this distance, take 12 to 14 medium steps, then turn 90 degrees and repeat. The resulting square is the weave of the earth. A hundredth of something is also called a hundredth.

It is convenient to use this type of land calculation both in the sale and construction, and when sowing garden and garden plots.

How many acres in a hectare

For accurate calculations of land area, you need to know the number of acres per hectare. One hectare is one hundred acres.

In order to convert the number of acres to a hectare, there are two ways:

• The first way: divide the number of acres by 100. The resulting number is the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe plot in hectares.
• Second: multiply the number of acres by 0.01.

If after conversion the number of hectares is less than one, then it is more convenient to write down this area in square meters. To do this, the number of hectares is multiplied by 10,000.

In order not to make a mistake in the calculation, remember the ratios:

• 1 s. (weaving) = 100 square meters = 1 ar = 0.0001 sq. km.
• 100 s. (hundredths) = 10000 sq. m. \u003d 1 ha \u003d 100 are \u003d 0.01 sq. km.

For an ordinary summer resident, it makes no sense to acquire large quantity earth. He has enough space for a good rest. But the farmer will need a large plot. Properly calculated hectares and acres will help you determine the land tax and land share.
