    How many Square Feet equal one Acre?

Exactly 43560 square feet equal one Acre, since an acre was originally defined as the area of a rectangle with sides of 66 and 660 feet (66 x 660 = 43560). The modern definition of the acre was established via an international treaty in 1959, according to which the symbol for acre is "ac" and the symbol for square feet is "ft²", often written as "sq ft".

    Difference between Acres and Square Feet

Both square feet and acres are units of area, though square feet are more commonly used to measure smaller areas such as that of a building or room, while acres are mostly used for tracts of land. Both units are part of the Imperial system of units with a long history of usage.

The acre in the Middle Ages equaled the area of land that could be ploughed in a day by a yoke of oxen. Relative to other traditional measures, the acre was defined as one chain by one furlong (66 ft by 660 ft), which equals 10 square chains or ​1⁄640 of a square mile. In 1959 it was defined to be 4,046.8564224 square meters. The acre was used as an official land unit in the United Kingdom and almost all countries of the former British Empire but that is now the case only in the United States.

Historically, the foot varied in length depending on which time period and location it was defined in. It is currently officially used only in the US, UK, and a couple of other countries. After 1959 its definition is fixed to that of the meter.
