Assuming you want a rectangular area, it can have any width and depth AS LONG AS width × length = 5 acres, ie width = 5 acres ÷ length.

Some examples are:

  • 1 yd by 24200 yds (13¾ miles)
  • 2 yds by 12100 yds (6⅞ miles)
  • 4 yds by 6050 yds (3 7/16 miles)
  • 5 yds by 4840 yds (22 furlongs)
  • 8 yds by 3025 yds (13¾ furlongs)
  • 10 yds by 2420 yds (11 furlongs)
  • 11 yds (½ chain) by 2200 yds (10 furlongs)
  • 20 yds by 1210 yds (5½ furlongs)
  • 22 yds (1 chain) by 1100 yds (5 furlongs)
  • 25 yds by 968 yds
  • 40 yds by 605 yds
  • 44 yds (2 chains) by 550 yds (2½ furlongs)
  • 50 yds by 484 yds (22 chains)
  • 55 yds (2½ chains) by 440 yds (2 furlongs)
  • 88 yds (4 chains) by 275 yds (1¼ furlongs)
  • 100 yds by 242 yds (11 chains)
  • 110 yds (5 chains) by 220 yds (1 furlong)
  • 121 yds (5½ chains) by 200 yds
  • ½ furlong (110 yds) by 10 chains (220 yds)

Historically an acre was the area of land a team of oxen could plough in 1 day and was a furrow long (furlong or 220 yds) and a chain (22 yds) wide (of the furrows). This was based on a rectangular field, but as the acre is a measure of area it can be any shape.
