An anchor is a unit of length used in typography, equal to 1/6 of a line or 1/72 of a foot. In typography, a foot is a unit of measurement equal to 12 inches or 0.3048 meters. Therefore, one anchor is equal to 1/72 of a foot, or approximately 0.0042 feet.

There is no such unit of measurement as an anchor - if you are thinking of acre, this is a unit of area, not of length, and therefore the two units are incompatible.
