How long will it take to walk around 27 acres and how many mile would this be?

Answer 1

27 acres is about 1.18 million square feet. If this 27-acre field is in a square shape, each side will be about 1084.5 feet long, for a total perimeter of a little over 4/5 of a mile. At a normal walking pace, it would take around 20 minutes to walk around the 27-acre square field. If the 27 acres are in any shape more rectangular or irregular than a square, it will take longer to walk around.

It depends upon the shape of the area of 27 acres and how fast you walk.

The minimum distance around 27 acres is when the area is a circle and the circumference of it is approx 1281.5 yds ≈ 0.73 miles which, walking at about 3 mph would take about 15 minutes.

Any other shape will have have a longer length of perimeter than this and so it could take any time greater than about 15 minutes that you would care to mention.

Examples:

A rectangle 594 yds long by 220 yds wide contains an area of 27 acres, has a perimeter of 1628 yds = 0.925 miles and at about 3 mph would take about 181/2 minutes to walk around.

A rectangle 4840 yds long by 27 yds wide contains an area of 27 acres, has a perimeter of 9734 yds ≈ 5.53 miles and at about 3 mph would take about 1 hour 50 mins to walk around.
