Are / Rood Units Definition
Are
Are, unit of area in the metric system, equal to 100 square meters and the equivalent of 0.0247 acre. Its multiple, the hectare (equal to 100 ares), is the primary unit of land measurement for most of the world. The are was the basic unit of area when the metric system was first decreed in France in 1795. When the International System of Units (SI) was adopted in 1960, the square meter replaced the are as the unit of area, but the International Bureau of Weights and Measures accepted the hectare as the common unit that can be used with the SI.
Rood
Rood is an English unit of area equal to one quarter of an acre or 10,890 square feet, exactly 1,011.7141056 m2. A rectangle that is one furlong (i.e., 10 chains, or 40 rods) in length and one rod in width is one rood in area, as is any space comprising 40 perches (a perch being one square rod).
