1 acre = 43560 ftÂ²
= 43560 * 12Â² inÂ²
= 43560 * 144 * 2.54Â² cmÂ²
= 40468564.224 cmÂ²

Thus 198.3 acres = 198.3 * 40468564.224 cmÂ²
= 8024616285.6192 cmÂ²

1.55 in = 1.55 * 2.54 cm

So Volume of rain = 8024616285.6192 * 1.55 * 2.54 cmÂ³
= 8024616285.6192 * 1.55 * 2.54/1000.028 L
â 3.16 ML (3.16 megaLitres)
