Morning wazuans..got a small question. Whats the true size of an eighth of an acre? I have seen 40x80 being sold as an eighth, 50x100 also called an eighth. Have also seen an acre being subdivided into a whopping 16 times to make 40x80 eighths, 16 of them. I'm left quering what exactly an eighth is, not unless the name has aquired a meaning independent of the measurements associated with it.

A quarter is 100 by 100 and eighth is half of that i.e. 50 by 100

1 acre = 43 560 square feet; Now do the math for yourself. In case you have forgotten, the area of a rectangle is simply the length times the width.

Now take your calc and start punching the numbers...

An eighth is 50*100. however some brokers use the 40*80 to sell commercial land.
