How many square meters in a hundred square meters of land: measurement, calculation

If you find it difficult to find out how many meters in a hundred square meters, or do not know how to translate hundred square meters into square meters, then after reading this article you will know exactly how to do it.

The size of one hundred square meters of land is 100 m²

Where did the weave come from - eliminate the confusion in concepts

In pre-revolutionary Russia, the tithe served as the classic measurement of the earth, which was subdivided into fixed units of measurement. For example, "melon" with a plot size of 80x10 m² (fathoms in the old days).

With the help of tithes, they even measured the area for mowing grass, making a simple calculation: a tithe of land - 10 haystacks. This unit of measurement was used until the 1917 revolution, a year after which the country began a gradual transition to the metric system of measures.

The concept of tithes was replaced by ar - a square plot of land 10x10 m, which corresponds to 100 m²... The new measure significantly eased the complexity of the calculations, since the total area became easy to measure by the number of 10x10 m squares included in a particular site.

Suburban area of ​​6 ares

Hundreds, as the name, appeared back in the Soviet years, when summer cottages began to appear in large quantities, the area of ​​which fit into 4-6 ares. "Sotka" literally means the numeral "one hundred", is easy to pronounce and does not cause confusion with the number of meters.

So the popular definition confidently took its place in the language of Soviet citizens and has successfully taken root in modern times. However, questions like “how many square meters are in one hundred square meters” are still relevant.

It is especially difficult to understand the issue for those who have never faced the need to measure the area of ​​a plot in order to understand its real dimensions (for example, when buying / selling land).

You will be surprised how simple everything is: 1 acres is 100 square meters or are of land, and an area of ​​10 acres corresponds to 10x100 m²... Knowing the footage of a hundred square meters, now you can easily plan construction - how many squares you can build a house, how many allotted for other buildings, and how much a bed with strawberries will get.

At the same time, large areas (for rural purposes, lease of forest areas, etc.) are measured in hectares. Along with square meters, this unit of measurement is used by cadastral engineers when calculating the area of ​​objects. Therefore, the skill of converting meters into hundreds and hectares is useful to every literate person.

Units of measurement of the area of ​​land allotments

There is another unit of measurement for large tracts of land - an acre. In our country, it is used to determine the area of ​​agricultural land. One acre of land is 4046.86 m² or 40.47 ares.

How to find out how many acres on the site

We found out how many meters in the arena, therefore, from theory to practice. To translate this value into square meters, we recall the capacity of 1 hundred square meters - this is 100 m²... For a visual representation of the area of ​​land in a hundred square meters, we measure it in meters and get the desired number.

Suppose you measured the area with a tape measure and found out the distance on each side: the length of the site was 65 meters, and the width was 40 meters. To calculate the total area, it remains to multiply the resulting figures: 65x40 = 2600 square meters.

Now we translate meters into hundreds. To do this, we divide the land area in meters by the number of meters in 1 are: 2600/100 = 26 ares.We carry out a similar algorithm of actions in the reverse order, if the hundred square meters need to be converted into meters. Literally: 40 ares x 100 m = 4000 m².

To calculate in hectares, a similar principle is used, only meters are divided by 10,000, since 1 hectare is equal to 10 thousand square meters. The easiest way is to find out the area of ​​the site in the form of a rectangle or square with the correct shape.

It is more difficult to calculate an area in the form of a polygon, where the calculation technique changes noticeably. In this case, the piece of land is divided into several triangles, the size of each is counted and added together, getting the total footage of the site.

In practice, there are land plots of completely different shapes - from a polygon and a trapezoid to a circle and a triangle. Therefore, for the accuracy of calculating non-standard allotments, it is important to contact specialized specialists - cadastral engineers, who will take into account every centimeter of your holdings.

How many acres on the site - calculation by example

Let's carry out the calculation for a rectangular plot with a conversion to hundreds:

1. We mark the corners of the site by driving in a small peg (you can even put a stone - the main thing is to visually mark the corner part).
2. We measure the length and width using the tools at hand - a tape measure or a stick 1 meter long.
3. We multiply the length of the section by its width. Let's say your "rectangle" is 36 meters long, 24 meters wide. Multiplying the indicators, you get the dimensions in square meters, that is, 864 m²... It should be noted that the calculation of the area of ​​the plot should not be confused with its perimeter. By calculating the perimeter, you can find the total length of the sides, not the area.
4. We translate meters into hundreds. We remember how many meters in a hundred square meters - 100 m²... Accordingly, 864/100 = 8.64 ares.

You can convert hundred square meters to meters by multiplying (8.64x100 = 864).

Frequently asked questions: 

• 10 acres is how many m²? Multiply 10 by 100 and get the correct answer: in 10 acres - 1000 m².
• How many square meters is 6 acres? We carry out a similar calculation and get 600 m².
• 1000 m² - how many acres? We divide 1 thousand meters by 1 acres, that is, 1000/100, and we get the answer: 10 acres.

The main thing in the calculations is not to forget about converting large units to smaller ones in order to get the correct size of the land plot.

How many ares in 1 hectare

It is accepted to measure large areas in hectares - it is convenient and practical. Recall that 1 hectare corresponds to 100 acres, which is 10,000 m²... All official documents containing information on an area of ​​more than 100 acres (for example, farm land) are registered in hectares.

Size in hundreds of one hectare

Please note that the size of such land is calculated in square kilometers. How much is it in hundred parts? First of all, we translate the area of ​​1 km² in meters. Example: 1000 mx 1000 m = 1,000,000 m2. The resulting figure corresponds to 100 hectares or 10,000 ares.

Plot of non-standard shape - how to calculate the number of acres

When measuring, it is important to count exactly along the boundaries of the site. Especially if the calculation is prepared for processing land documents.

There are 3 ways to find out the number of acres for a plot of irregular shape:

1. Carry out a survey. Invite a specialist for measurements, who will determine the area using a geodetic method using range finders, a special tower and other devices. This is the most reliable way to find out the size of the site: the irregular shape will be divided into several equal triangles, their area will be calculated separately and in total. The result is the exact number of acres, including the most inconvenient places for "manual" measurements.
2. Measure yourself. To do this, set the milestones at the corners of the entire perimeter, then measure the distance between each of them. Record the plot of the site and the resulting numbers on paper. Divide the ground in the diagram into separate shapes with correct geometry. Calculate the area of ​​each separately, and add up the results obtained - the final figure will show the total number of acres.
3. Use google map. Suitable as a way to calculate approximate dimensions for general information. In the remote calculation on the map, you can set points along all borders of the territory, connect and get the finished result.

On maps in Google maps, you can distinguish the boundaries of areas

It is difficult to determine the size of geometrically complex lands using improvised means, since errors will be inevitable. If you carry out a calculation for paperwork, use the services of specialized companies - this requires money, but it gives a guarantee of accuracy in measuring the boundaries and area of ​​the site.
