What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to translate land area from are, a metric measurement unit equal to 100 square meters, into sections, a U.S. land survey unit representing one square mile. It is ideal for applications involving legal land descriptions, agriculture, and property management.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the area value in are units into the input field
  • Select 'are [a]' as the source unit and 'section' as the target unit
  • Initiate the conversion process to see the equivalent area in sections
  • Use the result for land surveying, property planning, or agricultural management

Key Features

  • Simple conversion from are to section using the fixed conversion factor
  • Supports land measurement units commonly used internationally and in the U.S.
  • Useful for cadastral records, agricultural planning, and legal documentation
  • Clear example conversions provided for quick reference

Examples

  • 100 a converts to 0.00386102 sections
  • 500 a converts to 0.0193051 sections

Common Use Cases

  • Describing rural property boundaries and legal land deeds in U.S. contexts
  • Conducting cadastral surveying and mapping for land division purposes
  • Agricultural land management and resource planning at the parcel level

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use this tool to quickly convert metric land measurements into the U.S. customary system
  • Verify conversions for legal or cadastral documents due to system differences
  • Apply conversions carefully when handling very small or very large land areas

Limitations

  • Small areas measured in ares result in very small fractional sections, which may be impractical for detailed uses
  • Conversions should be carefully applied for official legal or cadastral purposes due to measurement system differences
