Acres
An acre is a unit of area used in the imperial and US customary systems. It is defined as the area of one chain by one furlong (66 feet by 660 feet), which is exactly 10 square chains or 43 560 square feet. An acre is about 40% of a hectare (the SI unit of area). The symbol for acre is "ac". The word "acre" comes from Old English æcer, which means "field". The term was first used in the context of land measurement in the 14th century. In the United States, the acre is legally defined as an area of 43 560 square feet or 4 840 square yards. This definition was established by the international yard and pound agreement of 1959.
Square yards
Square yards are a unit of measurement for area. One square yard is equal to the area of a square with sides that are one yard in length. A yard is a unit of measurement for length that is equal to three feet or 36 inches. So a square yard is the equivalent of 9 square feet (3 feet x 3 feet). The symbol for square yard is "yd²". The "²" indicates that the unit is being used to measure area, which is a two-dimensional quantity. Similarly, the symbol for cubic yard, which is used to measure volume (a three-dimensional quantity), is "yd³".
A yard is a unit of length or distance commonly used in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom (the yard is still commonly used in the United States and other countries that have historical ties to Britain). It is defined as exactly 0.9144 meter, or approximately 3 feet.
