It is neither. An acre is 1 (or 1.0) acres, half an acre is 0.5 acres. 0.247 is close to 1/4 (which is exactly 0.25).
If it is exactly 40 acres square it will take one mile of fencing or 5,280 feet. However most tracts of land are 40 acres more or less meaning they are approximately 40 acres. 40 acres is one quarter mile long on each side more or less.
ok - I was just looking for the same thing for the same reason and think I have come up with the answer. Assuming your 5 acres is rectanguar (2 acres accross and 2.5 acres deep) the dimensions should roughly be 416' x 520' (based on an acre being 208' and not an Irish acre which is about 60% larger than a US acre). I calculated a perimeter of 1,872', and at the cheapest I have found white vinyl fencing at $4.81 per foot - this works out to be just over $9,000!!! Think I'll start saving now :-(
An acre is 66 feet by 660 feet so 1,452 feet of fence would surround an acre.
figure it out
A square plot of ground measuring 12 acres would encompass approximately 2925 linear feet of fence-line.
.69 acres. So somewhere around a third of an acre.
For a three-acre square-shaped lot, you'd need a minimum of about 1,446 feet of fencing.
0.16 acres is 4/25 of an acre.
The word "acres" is a plural word. One acre, several acres. You would say "an acre is" or "acres are."

1 acre = 43,560 square feet. 5 acres = 217,800 square feet. That's a square 466.69 feet on a side. If you need to fence all 4 sides, then you need 1,866.76 feet of fencing.
Just a couple of lessons and you should be able to fence in 25 acres.... it depends on your opponent... some fencing experts will require a lot of space to weild their sword
About 1/2 acre (0.45913682 acres).
There are 43, 560 square feet in an acre. There are 348,480 square feet in eight acres. Assuming that the area is a square, you will approximately need 2361.28 feet of fencing. If the area is one foot wide, you will need a lot more fence than that.
