Understanding the Units
* Acre-inch: A measure of volume often used for irrigation. It represents the volume of water that would cover one acre of land to a depth of one inch.
* Cubic meter: A standard unit of volume in the metric system.
Conversion Factors
* 1 acre = 4046.86 square meters
* 1 inch = 0.0254 meters
Calculation
1. Convert acre to square meters: 1 acre * 4046.86 m²/acre = 4046.86 m²
2. Convert inch to meters: 1 inch * 0.0254 m/inch = 0.0254 m
3. Calculate the volume: 4046.86 m² * 0.0254 m = 102.79 m³
Therefore, 1 acre-inch is equal to approximately 102.79 cubic meters.
