Convert Ares to Marla

Ares or Are is a measuring unit of area in a metric system. It is abbreviated as ‘a’. Hectare is its multiple and is the principal unit of land measurement for most of the world. Are was the basic unit of the area when the metric system was first decreed in France in 1795. When the International System of Units (SI) was adopted in 1960, Ares was replaced by the square metre but the International Bureau of Weights and Measures continues to use hectare as a common unit. The hectare, which is widely used in agriculture and land measurement, is equal to 100 Ares. Are is commonly used in European countries for measuring land areas. It is particularly prevalent in real estate and agriculture contexts. The metric prefix deca- represents 10 Ares, but it is not commonly used.
