Depends on the shape of the area (see the answer to the same question relating to 2 acres). If the area was an infinitely thin strip, the length of Fencing would be infinite. For a circular area, the least amount of fencing would be needed.
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 :-(
The US has 2,428,224,640 acres of land.
A square-shape plot of land that is five acres would have four sides each measuring 466.69 feet long.
1729.73766 acres

If you are installing a fence to surround your property, then you need to find the perimeter of your land to see how much fencing you have to buy.
There are many factors involved in figuring the cost of any kind of fencing. One estimate I came up with showed about $2,000 US to fence an area of 90 feet by 90 feet square, five-foot high chain link, with one three-foot walk-through gate. However, there are a couple of online tools I like to use for chain link fencing. See the related links below.
sort of you need 2 acres per horse in a 2-strand wire fence.
The cost of fencing can vary greatly depending on the type of fence you are building. Another factor would be how much land you are fencing. But if the fences are for horses you can't go cheap. Horses must be kept in safe no-climb stock wire fence or other types of fencing made just for horses. But the price will most likely be several thousand dollars. The price will go up if you have to hire someone to build for you.
You can't tell the linear dimensions from the area. There are an infinite number of shapes that all enclose 40 acres but have different linear dimensions. The smallest possible straight dimensions that can enclose 40 acres occur if the field is square. Each side would be 1,320 feet, and you'd need exactly 1 mile of fence to enclose it. But if some developer owned a rectangular piece of land that was 330-ft wide and 1 mile long, his land would also measure 40 acres, but it would take 2-1/4 miles of fence to enclose it.
Any measure greater than or equal to 1181 feet - up to infinitely many feet.
That would be 1.37 acres.
You have no reason for making a claim on your neighbours property firstly because you have said that his fence is 15 inches into his own yard but if you have had your fence up against his then this would mean that your fence is on his property and he can ask you to move your fence back by 15 inches as the land is his and not yours though again it would depend whos yard the fence posts are in because if your fence posts are also on his 15 inches of land then the fence is lawfully his too and not yours and the same goes for him if his fence posts are on your property then lawfully the fence is yours as the ownership of whos fence all lies down to where the fence posts are and not the actual fencing part of it. Additional information can be found on the discussion page.
50 Acres of land is at least 42,000 feet long. But if you double it you would have 84,000 in 100 acres. And gust keep going on.
