Convert arpent to meter
Arpent
The arpent is a French unit of length and area that varies by region, with the linear arpent used in Canada and the former French territories of the United States equal to approximately 58.47 meters (191.8 feet). As a unit of area, an arpent represents a square arpent. It was widely used in French colonial land surveys and its influence persists in place names and land records in Louisiana, Quebec, and other historically French regions.
Meter
The metre (Commonwealth spelling and BIPM spelling) or meter (American spelling) (from the French unit mètre, from the Greek noun μετρούν, "measure") is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). The SI unit symbol is m. The metre is defined as the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.
The metre was originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole along a great circle, so the Earth's circumference is approximately 40000 km. In 1799, the metre was redefined in terms of a prototype metre bar (the actual bar used was changed in 1889). In 1960, the metre was redefined in terms of a certain number of wavelengths of a certain emission line of krypton-86. In 1983, the current definition was adopted.
