What is the Measurement of one side of an acre?

An acre is equal to 4,840 square yards. The original definition of an acre was to cover a rectangle of 22 yards (one chain) by 220 yards (a furlong).


Is 40 meters x 100 meters equal to an acre?

It's awfully close. I calculate it to be 98.84% of an acre, so you could use it as a "rule of thumb". But be aware that this is just a convenient coincidence. There's no definition that ties an acre to any metric measurement. The acre is defined as the area that fits into a square mile 640 times.


How many square yards in a square acre?

There are 4,840 square yards in an acre. However, the term "square acre" is incorrect. An acre, by definition, is a unit of area, and therefore the "square" prefix is unneccessary.Moreover, an acre is not generally thought of as "square" anyway, because there is no way you can posit a square acre using whole numbers for the lengths of the sides. An acres is 43,560 square feet. The square root of this number is approximately 208.7103. That would be the approximate length of the sides of your "square acre".Traditionally, an acre was defined as an area 660 feet (one furlong, or ten chains) long and 66 feet (one chain) wide. But an acre need not be this shape to be considered an acres. Any piece of land that is 43,560 square feet in area is considered an acre.


What fraction of an acre is 0.322 acre?

0.322 acre is 322/1000 acre. This can be simplified to 161/500 acre, which means 0.322 acre is equivalent to 161/500 acre.


How many feet do you need opposite 68 feet to make one-half acre?

I assume you want a rectange of dimensions 68 times (unknown). Here is how you solve it. 1) Look up the definition of "acre"; specifically, how many square feet does an acre have (unless you have already memorized it, of course). 2) Convert the half-acre to square feet. 3) Divide the number of square feet by 68 feet to get the unknown other length.

How many miles in 600 acres?

An acre is a unit of area (distance * distance), whereas a mile is a unit of distance. The two cannot be compared. A square mile, however, is a unit of area and can therefore be compared to an acre. By definition, there are 640 United States survey acres in one square mile. Thus, the number of miles in 600 acres can be computed as follows: 600 acres * (1 square mile/640 acres) = 0.9375 square miles There is another type of acre called the "international acre", but it is very close to the same size as a US survey acre, so the answer for that kind of acre is the same.
