Kiloyard


A kiloyard is a less commonly used unit of length that equals 1,000 yards. Since one yard is exactly 0.9144 meters, a kiloyard is equivalent to 914.4 meters or 0.9144 kilometers.


While not widely used in everyday measurements or scientific contexts, the kiloyard may occasionally appear in specialized fields like military applications, ballistics, or older engineering texts where large distances were measured in yards. It follows the metric-style prefix "kilo-" (meaning one thousand) combined with the imperial unit "yard."


Conversion:



  • 1 kiloyard = 1,000 yards



  • 1 kiloyard = 914.4 meters



  • 1 kiloyard β‰ˆ 0.568 miles



Due to the dominance of the metric system and the more common use of miles for longer imperial distances, the kiloyard remains a rare and non-standard unit in most modern contexts.


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 β‰ˆ 0.84 meters



  • Tarea β‰ˆ 100 square varas (area)



  • Vara de tarea = unit combining length and area for land measurement



  • Common in Spanish-speaking countries’ historical land records
