Foot
A foot (plural: feet) is a unit of length commonly used in the United States, the United Kingdom, and some other countries. One foot equals 12 inches or about 0.3048 meters. Feet are often used to measure height, room dimensions, and short distances. For example, a person might be 5 feet 8 inches tall. The abbreviation for foot is "ft". Although many countries use the metric system, feet remain popular in daily life and construction in countries using the imperial system.
Vara de Tarea
The vara de tarea is a traditional Spanish and Latin American unit of area used especially in land measurement and agriculture. It combines the vara, a unit of length, with the tarea, a unit of area.
The vara is roughly 33 inches (about 0.84 meters), though it varies by region.
A tarea typically refers to an area equal to 100 square varas, but this can differ locally.
Therefore, a vara de tarea is often used to express land area based on square varas.
This unit remains in use in some rural parts of Latin America for land deeds and agricultural measurements, reflecting historical Spanish colonial measurement systems.
Summary:
Vara ≈ 0.84 meters
Tarea ≈ 100 square varas (area)
