The word "square" is incorrectly applied if asking about 1 square acre.The acre is a unit of area in a number of different systems, including the Imperial and U.S. customary systems. The most commonly used acres today are the international acre and, in the United States, the survey acre. The most common use of the acre is to measure tracts of land.One acre comprises 4,840 square yards, or 43,560 square feet, or about 4,046.86 square meters = 0.404686 hectares.All that said, an acre of land, which is a measure of the area of a plot of land, can come in different shapes. An acre may be square, or it may be a rectangle that is half as wide as it is long. Or a rectangle that is four times longer than it is wide. It could even be a circle, elipse, or other shapes. How "wide" it is will vary with the shape.
A one-sixth acre lot is approximately 10,890 square feet. To put it in perspective, it's about the size of a small residential lot, roughly equivalent to about 0.017 square miles. This size allows for modest construction or landscaping but may have limitations depending on local zoning laws.
Oddly enough, an acre was not defined as a square, but as a rectangle -- for example a long, thin parcel of farmland that would be plowed in long furrows. It is 1/640th of a square mile, or 4840 square yards, or 43560 square feet. The simplest designation uses the obsolete units chain (66 feet) and furlong (660 feet or 10 chains or 1/8 mile). Thus an acre is 1 chain by 1 furlong, or 10 square chains, and may have been established as about a day's plowing for an ox. The 1/640th of a mile can be seen in that there are 80 chains to a mile and 8 furlongs to a mile, a unit still seen in various horse race distances today. The SI unit comparable to the acre is a hectare (10000 m2), which is about 2.47 acres.
40 m2 = 430.556 square feet.
