In U.S. land surveying under the Public Land Survey System (PLSS), a section is an area nominally one square mile (2.6 square kilometers), containing 640 acres (260 hectares), with 36 sections making up one survey township on a rectangular grid.
For example, if your parcel of land is 50,000 square yards you can determine its acreage by dividing 50,000 by 4840. The answer is 10.33. So 50,000 square yards is equivalent to 10.33 acres. You can repeat this with the other units of measurement.
