What is the length and width of an acre of land?

Answer 1

1 acre = 43,560 square feet so for example:

100 feet long by 435.6 feet wide would equal one acre

Length x Width = Square Feet

Square Feet / 43560 = acres

208.71ft by 208.71ft is equal to one acre

Answer 2

An acre of land is a unit of area equal to 43,560 square feet. Since an acre is a measurement of area, it does not have a specific length and width. The shape of the acre can vary depending on the dimensions of the land.

Answer 3

1 acre = 4046.8 m2

Originally, an acre was understood as a selion of land sized at one furlong (660 ft) long and one chain (66 ft) wide; this may have also been understood as an approximation of the amount of land an ox could plough in one day. A square enclosing one acre is approximately 208 feet 9 inches (63.63 meters) on a side. But as a unit of measure an acre has no prescribed shape; any perimeter enclosing 43,560 square feet is an acre in size.

Answer 4

There is no standard length and width. An acre can be any shape provided it covers an area of 43560 sq feet. So 100 acres would be any area of 4,356,000 square feet. The shape need not even be rectangular - it could be circular, triangular, or any random shape.

Answer 5

An acre is a unit of area. You can't convert it into a unit of length.

Answer 6

Any dimensions you want, so long as it totals up to 43,560 square feet.
