Measures of the areas at the different people differ. In Russia the land plots measured by tithe, and the existing types of this measure differed both on the area, and by the name. In the dictionary by V. Dahl state, centesimal, round, Astrakhan tithes are described, and they were used up to introduction of the metric system of measures.

Instruction
1. Pay attention that the concept "hectare" is related to tithe too - 1 hectare. it is equal 11/12 tithes. Old measures are forgotten and long ago are not used though their names occur, for example, in literary works. Perhaps, you heard what is verst, the sazhen, an elbow, a step – all these measures had a certain value. The verst is 500 sazhens or 1066.8 m, the step is equal to 71 cm. In old times the long distances measured by versts. Today it is possible to use a formula of calculation of the area and to find the work of length and width of the site.
2. Keep in mind that one hectare is a site with the parties 100*100 m or 10,000 sq.m. If to count hectare hundred parts, then 100 hundred parts because the hundred part is equal to 100 sq.m. will turn out. Earlier to calculate such big ground, farmers used wooden sazhen. This measure differed on appointment and size, for example, broad shoulders - 2.48 m, or swing sazhen - 1.76 m. Later for these purposes used a rope.
3. Calculate big grounds by means of difficult technological devices, for example, of the GPS receiver which equipped the car. By means of the GPS navigator you will be able objectively to estimate borders of the site and to specify its arrangement. Having designated field borders, create the electronic card - enter data in the computer.
4. To look at the actual sizes of the site, use the satellite systems of navigation. Such system can be very useful to agricultural grounds. You will be able to specify specifics of each field, to survey productivity, and to use the recorded information for future crops. Plan schedules of work, the need for the equipment, fuel and lubricants, seeds and fertilizers. This system can be convenient also for gardening associations as, having calculated productivity, it is possible to determine "value" of each site separately.
