Which measurement represents about 36,802 square feet?

  1. One arpent

  2. One hectare

  3. One morgen

  4. One rood

The correct answer is: One arpent

One hectare represents approximately 36,802 square feet, making it the correct answer. A hectare is defined as 10,000 square meters or about 2.47 acres, which translates to roughly 36,802.4 square feet in total area. Understanding the other units helps provide context. An arpent, for instance, varies by region but generally measures around 58,000 to 63,000 square feet. A morgen is a Dutch unit of land area that is equivalent to about 2 acres, or roughly 87,120 square feet. A rood is equal to 1/4 of an acre, which is about 10,890 square feet. Recognizing these measurements emphasizes why the hectare stands out as the correct choice for this question.
