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




Finger (Cloth)


A finger is a traditional, informal unit of length based on the width of a human finger. It was commonly used in tailoring and cloth measurement. The exact length varies but is generally considered to be about ¾ inch (approximately 1.9 centimeters).


The finger measurement helped tailors and fabric merchants make quick estimations of small lengths or widths of material before precise tools were common. It is one of several body-based units used historically in textiles, alongside the span, palm, and hand.


Though rarely used in modern measurement, the finger remains a part of historical measurement systems and illustrates how people relied on their bodies for everyday measuring tasks.


Summary:



  • 1 finger ≈ ¾ inch (1.9 cm)



  • Based on the width of a human finger



  • Used in tailoring and cloth measurement



  • Mostly of historical interest today
