I am going to buy some land and its 2800 sq meters. Is it a acre?

Hi Roger,

A square metre is 100 centimeters by 100 centimeters so 2800 square meters is 28000000 square centimeters. There are 2.54 centimeters in an inch so this is

 28000000/(2.54 2.54) = 4340008.7 square inches.

There are 12 inches in a foot and hence 4340008.68 square inches is

 4340008.68/(12 12) = 30138.0 square feet.

Finally there are 43560 square feet in an acre so 2800 sq meters is

  30138.0/43560 = 0.69 acres

Thus the land area is approximately two-thirds of an acre.
