0.1760 Hectare to Bigha: Understanding Land Measurement Units
When it comes to measuring land, different units are used in various parts of the world. Two such units are hectare and bigha. While hectare is a widely used unit in the metric system, bigha is a traditional unit commonly used in India, Nepal, and Bangladesh. In this article, we will explore the conversion of 0.1760 hectare to bigha.
What is a Hectare?
A hectare is a unit of area in the metric system, equal to 10,000 square meters or 2.471 acres. It is commonly used to measure large areas of land, such as agricultural fields, forests, and urban areas.
What is a Bigha?
A bigha is a traditional unit of area used in the Indian subcontinent, particularly in India, Nepal, and Bangladesh. The exact conversion of bigha to other units varies from region to region, but it is generally equal to 0.25 to 0.5 acres or 1000 to 2000 square meters.
Converting 0.1760 Hectare to Bigha
To convert 0.1760 hectare to bigha, we need to know the exact conversion rate of bigha to hectare. Assuming 1 bigha is equal to 0.25 acres or approximately 1011.71 square meters, we can convert 0.1760 hectare as follows:
0.1760 hectare × (10000 square meters/hectare) = 17600 square meters
Now, dividing the total square meters by the area of 1 bigha (1011.71 square meters), we get:
17600 square meters ÷ 1011.71 square meters/bigha = approximately 17.38 bigha
Therefore, 0.1760 hectare is equivalent to approximately 17.38 bigha.
Conclusion
In conclusion, converting land measurement units can be complex, especially when dealing with traditional units like bigha. However, by understanding the conversion rates and formulas, we can easily convert hectares to bigha or vice versa. In this case, 0.1760 hectare is equivalent to approximately 17.38 bigha.
