Acre (used as a unit of length)
Acre (used as a unit of length) :
Various historical references mention "acre" as a unit of length, but there has never been any official definition of such a unit. In older works, especially in Britain, an acre of length is a furlong and an acre of breadth is 4 rods, since those were the historic dimensions of an acre. The acre is also the area of a square about 208.710 feet (roughly 208 feet 8.5 inches or 63.615 meters) on a side, and sometimes, mostly in the U.S. and Canada, this length was called an acre or the side of an acre. In contrast, the original area unit was sometimes called the?square acre. All these usages are obsolete
