A: The calculation is mathematically precise, but accuracy depends on the precision of your length and width measurements.

Q2: Can I use other units besides feet?
A: This calculator uses feet. For other units, convert to feet first (1 foot = 0.3048 meters).

Q3: How do I measure irregular shaped plots?
A: For irregular shapes, divide into rectangles, calculate each separately, then sum the acreages.
