Step 5:
Know your areas
 - Hectare: A hectare is a square that's 100 meters by 100 meters (10,000 square meters), or a square 300 feet by 300 feet (90,000 square feet). In U.S. acres, a hectare is 2.47 acres. Estimate: 2.5 acres per hectare. Heck, I can remember two and half!
- And if you've always wondered how large an acre is, it's 43,560 square feet. In metric terms, that's 4,047 square meters. Estimate: 40,000 square feet, or 4,000 square meters per acre. Or, picture a square that's 200 feet by 200 feet. Get out there in your "40 X 4" to check out that land parcel.
