Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,

Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

It depends. An acre is 43560 ft², but the feet may be either Survey Feet (1200/3937 m) or International feet (0.3048 m).

So 43560 *(0.3048)² = 4046.856 422 m²

and 43560*(1200/3937)² = 4046.872 610 m²

Prior to 1983, the second answer is correct. All geodetic work for the NAD83 datum was done in metric, and some States converted their information to survey feet, others to international feet. The US is now a mixed bag on the issue. Depends on what state. Outside the US, the first answer is correct.
