Use the radius\u2014not the diameter\u2014for a circle.<\/li>\n<li>For a rectangle, triangle, or quadrilateral, enter <strong>Width \/ side 2 (B)<\/strong>. For a triangle or quadrilateral, also enter <strong>Side 3 (C)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>For an irregular quadrilateral, enter <strong>Side 4 (D)<\/strong> and <strong>Diagonal (d)<\/strong>. Number sides A through D consecutively around the boundary. Measure the diagonal from the corner between A and D to the corner between B and C.<\/li>\n<li>Select the <strong>Unit<\/strong> beside each dimension. The choices are ft, yd, m, rods, and chains; you may mix units.<\/li>\n<li>Enter <strong>Price per acre (optional)<\/strong> to estimate land value, or clear that field to omit the estimate. Read the area in acres, sq ft, sq m, hectares, and sq miles under <strong>Land Area and Value<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>What acreage tells you<\/h2>\n<p>Acreage measures the area within a land boundary, rather than the length of its edges. One acre equals 43,560 square feet, or approximately 4,046.86 square meters. The same area can describe a long, narrow parcel or a nearly square one, so acreage alone does not describe a lot\u2019s shape or frontage.<\/p>\n<p>The shape determines which measurements are sufficient. Length and width define a rectangle; a radius defines a circle. Three side lengths define a triangle when they can form one. Four side lengths alone generally do not fix a quadrilateral\u2019s area: its corners can move while those lengths stay the same. The additional diagonal fixes the two triangles used by this calculator.<\/p>\n<p>The results show one area in several units, not separate measurements. The estimated land value is simply acreage multiplied by the entered price per acre. It can help compare parcels at a common rate, but it is not an appraisal: access, location, permitted use, improvements, and other factors may affect a sale price.<\/p>\n<h2>Measurement assumptions and practical tips<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Enter positive dimensions. For each triangle, the sum of any two sides must exceed the third. This also applies to both triangles formed by a quadrilateral\u2019s diagonal; otherwise, the calculator cannot produce an area.<\/li>\n<li>For a quadrilateral, confirm that the measured diagonal runs through the parcel\u2019s interior and divides it into triangles with sides A\u2013B\u2013d and C\u2013D\u2013d. A different diagonal or incorrect side order can produce a different result.<\/li>\n<li>Rectangular and circular calculations assume the boundary matches the selected shape. For an uneven field, divide it into measurable sections and add their areas, or use surveyed boundary data.<\/li>\n<li>Use horizontal ground dimensions for land area. A distance measured along a steep slope can be longer than its horizontal distance and may overstate the result.<\/li>\n<li>Surveyed acreage may differ from a measurement-based estimate because of boundary detail, measurement precision, or legal descriptions. Use a qualified surveyor when an exact property boundary matters.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Checking and using the result<\/h2>\n<p>For a quick check, a 66 ft by 660 ft rectangle is exactly one acre.
