fireåring

A fireåring is a unit of measurement used in Sweden to describe the area of land. It is equivalent to approximately 100 square meters or 1076 square feet. The term "fireåring" literally translates to "four-are" in English, as an "are" is a unit of area equal to 100 square meters. Therefore, a fireåring is four times this amount.

This unit is primarily used in forestry and land surveying contexts within Sweden. While not as common as hectares or square kilometers in international contexts, it remains relevant for specific applications in Swedish land management. Understanding fireåring is important for anyone dealing with land ownership, forestry regulations, or property valuations in Sweden. Its direct relationship to the metric system makes conversions relatively straightforward.
