Französisch Begriff oder Satz: 40a 35ca

This is the unit of measurement for a housing development in Guadeloupe. My initial thought was that "a" meant acre, but that doesn't make sense given that Guadeloupe is a DOM and therefore, I imagine, metric.

Even if it is acre, then I cannot find what "ca" means as a subdivision.

Any ideas please?

Thanks

Paula McMullan

Paula McMullan: 9:25am Feb 13, 2007: Thanks everyone for such a quick response!! I obviously wasn't looking in the right place during my research.
Tony M: 9:39am Feb 13, 2007: These are standard SI units that should be readily available from any normal reference sources, and have cropped up at least once before here on kudoZ
Paula McMullan: 10:55am Feb 13, 2007: I am sure you are right, Tony, but after half an hour of searching, I decided I was probably getting research blind.
Tony M: 11:22am Feb 13, 2007: The following is a rather useful page about units of measurement:

Paula McMullan: 11:45am Feb 13, 2007: Tony, thank you. We had a server installed recently which happily deleted all my website faves so I'm having to rebuild them.
Tony M: 1:10pm Feb 13, 2007: Bad luck! That is SUCH a pain. :-((

Please, could you edit the gloss entry to make it more logical to anyone stumbling across it cold?
Paula McMullan: 8:03pm Feb 13, 2007: Is this what you mean?
David Goward: 8:14pm Feb 13, 2007: That seems clear enough to me, Paula. Thanks for the compliment by the way ;-)

Incidentally, I've just discovered while messing about on http://www.onlineconversion.com, in response to Conor's agreement below, that 4035 sq.m is very, very slightly less than one acre (0.997). If an Imperial equivalent is required, that might be handier than 43432 sq.ft!

Bourth: Ares do so mean a lot in the ESW - at least twice as much as ises.

Conor McAuley: Might also include a sq ft conversion, depending on the audience /// ah, not to me now, the only unit of area I understand is football fields, the Sky News unit of area! (I challenge you to work that one out!)

-> Thanks, Conor. That's 43432 sq. ft to you, sir!/As football pitches are about 100x60 m = 6000 sq.m, I'd say about two-thirds ;-)
