Land Measuring Units

The following are most common agricultural land measuring units being used.

 

Karam

1 karam = 2 ft. steps = 5.5 ft. = 1.67 m

1 sq. Karam = 5.5 x 5.5 ft. = (5.5)² ft.² = 30.25 ft.²          or

1 sq. Karam = 1.67 x 1.67 m = (1.67)² m² = 2.679 m²

 
Marla

1 Marla = 9 sq. Karam = 9 x (5.5)² ft.²= 9 x 30.25 ft.² = 272.24 ft.²        or

1 Marla = 9 sq. Karam = 9 x (1.67)²m²= 9 x 2.789m² = 25.10 m²

Kanal

1 Kanal (K) = 20 Marla = 20 x 272.24 ft.² = 5444.8 ft.²(since, 1 Marla = 272.24 ft.²)   or

1 Kanal (K) = 20 Marla = 20 x 25.10 m² = 502 m²        (since, 1 Marla = 25.10 m²)     or

1 Kanal (K) = 20 Marla = 20 x 9 sq. Karam = 180 sq. Karam  (since 1 Marla = 9 sq. Karam)

Bega

1 Bega (B) = 4 Kanal = 4 x 5444.8 ft.² = 21779.2 ft.²  (since, 1 Kanal = 5444.8 ft.²)    or
1 Bega (B) = 4 Kanal = 4 x 502 m² = 2008 m²            (since, 1 Kanal = 502 m²)         or

1 Bega (B) = 4 Kanal = 4 x 180 sq. Karam = 720 sq. Karam        (since, 1 Kanal = 180 sq. Karam)

Acre

1 Acre = 8 Kanal = 8 x 5444.8 ft.² = 43560 ft.²           (since, 1 Kanal = 5444.8 ft.²)    or
1 Acre = 8 Kanal = 8 x 502 m² = 4016 m²                 (since, 1 Kanal = 502 m²)        or

1 Acre = 8 Kanal = 8 x 180 sq. Karam = 1440 sq. Karam   (since, 1 Kanal = 180 sq. Karam) or

1 Acre = 2 Bega

Hectare

1 Hectare = 2.47 Acre

Murabba / Square

1 Square = 24 Acre

Lat

1 Lat = 15 Acre
