The decare (/ˈdɛkɑːr/ or /ˈdɛkɛər/) is derived from deca and are, and is equal to 10 ares or 1000 square metres.

The acre is a unit of land area used in the imperial and US customary systems. It is defined as the area of 1 chain by 1 furlong (66 by 660 feet), which is exactly equal to 1⁄640 of a square mile, 43,560 square feet, approximately 4,047 m2, or about 40% of a hectare.
