Furlong

A furlong is a traditional unit of distance used primarily in agriculture and horse racing. It is equal to 220 yards, 660 feet, or 1/8 of a mile (approximately 201.168 meters).

The word "furlong" comes from the Old English words furh (furrow) and lang (long), originally referring to the length of a furrow in a 10-acre field. It was historically used in England to measure field lengths for plowing.

In modern times, the furlong is rarely used outside of horse racing, where race distances are still often given in furlongs, especially in the United Kingdom and the United States.

Conversions:

1 furlong = 660 feet
1 furlong = 220 yards
1 furlong ≈ 201.168 meters
8 furlongs = 1 mile

Although considered outdated for most uses, the furlong remains a culturally significant unit in some specific fields.

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)
Vara de tarea = unit combining length and area for land measurement
Common in Spanish-speaking countries’ historical land records
