How many ac in 5000 km²?

An acre is a unit of measurement used to express land area in the United States Customary System and the British Imperial System of measurement. It is defined as the area of land that can be plowed by one yoke of oxen in one day, which is roughly equivalent to 43,560 square feet or 4,047 square meters in the International System of Units (SI).

The acre is commonly used in various land and property-related applications, including agriculture, real estate, parks, recreation, forestry, and construction. In agriculture, for example, the area of farmland or crops may be expressed in acres. In real estate, the size of properties such as residential or commercial land can be expressed in acres. Similarly, public parks, golf courses, or other recreational areas may be measured in acres.

The use of the acre dates back to the Middle Ages when land was often measured by how much could be plowed in a single day. Today, the acre remains a widely used unit of measurement for expressing land area in many different contexts and applications in the United States and other countries that use the customary or imperial systems of measurement.

Here are some examples of conversions from acres to other units of area: 1 acre = 43,560 square feet
1 acre = 4,047 square meters
1 acre = 0.4047 hectares
1 acre = 0.0015625 square miles
1 acre = 0.0015625 sections (a section is a unit of area used in the U.S. Public Land Survey System)

Converting between units of area can be useful in a variety of applications. For example, if you are purchasing a piece of land that is measured in acres, you may want to convert that measurement to square feet or square meters to get a better idea of the actual size of the property. Similarly, if you are a farmer trying to determine how much land you need to plant a certain crop, you may want to convert acres to hectares to make the calculation easier.
