- Hectares to AcresFarms and conservation land: a hectare is 10,000 m², about 2.471 acres. EU grants speak hectares. US county GIS speaks acres. Multiply ha by 2.47105.
- Acres to Square FeetUS land: one acre is 43,560 ft², a chain-and-furlong leftover that refused to die. A quarter-acre lot is 10,890 ft². Multiply acres by 43,560. Soccer-field metaphors are not a survey.
- Square Miles to AcresOne square mile is 640 acres — a US survey section. Ranch listings and wildfire maps still use both. Multiply mi² by 640. A 36 mi² township grid is 23,040 acres.
- Appliance Running CostCost = watts × hours / 1000 × $/kWh. A 1,500 W space heater for 4 hours at $0.16/kWh is $0.96. The supply rate on the bill is the one that matters, not a national average.

Unit Converters
A 5K is 5,000 meters, not 5 kilometers on the nose if your watch is sloppy. Divide meters by 1,000. Track races, building plans, and “how far was that hike” all live in this split.
Feet to Meters
Unit Converters
US height, ceiling height, and lumber still arrive in feet. Meter plans do not. One foot is exactly 0.3048 m — not “about a third.” Use this when a listing says 10 ft ceilings and the architect works in meters.
Inches to Centimeters
Unit Converters
Monitor diagonals, waist measurements, and photo prints still come in inches. Clothing charts in Europe come in cm. Multiply inches by 2.54. That factor is exact, not a kitchen guess.
