About these units
Acre (ac)
An acre is a traditional Anglo-American land unit equal to 43,560 square feet, or roughly 4,047 m². It originated from medieval English farming, where an acre represented the amount of land a yoke of oxen could plow in one day—reflecting its deep agricultural roots. The acre remains widely used in the United States and the UK (in certain contexts), especially in real estate, agriculture, and land conservation. It is culturally intuitive for rural populations, where land plots have been measured in acres for centuries. The unit's longevity demonstrates how historical agricultural practices shaped modern land evaluation systems. Despite its lack of coherence with the metric system, the acre endures because of its cultural familiarity and long-standing legal integration.
Circular Inch (circ in)
A circular inch represents the area of a circle with a diameter of exactly one inch. This yields an area of approximately 0.7854 square inches. It is sometimes used in engineering, especially in the sizing of pipes, hydraulic fittings, and certain mechanical components where circular cross-sections dominate. While not as widespread as the square inch, the circular inch offers a more direct representation of the actual shape of round components, reducing the need for manual geometric conversion.
