You can't because there's no one answer. There are an infinite number of different

shapes with different dimensions that all have the same area of 20 acres.

-- If the field is a circle, then it's 1,053.2 feet across, and the perimeter is 3,308.7 feet.

That's the shortest perimeter it can have.

-- If it's square, then each side of the square is 933.4 feet, and the perimeter is 3,733.5 feet.

That's the shortest perimeter it can have if the sides are straight.

-- If it's a rectangle, then the perimeter can be anything more than 3,733 feet.

Here are a few examples. They're all 20 acres:

121 x 7200 . . . . . perimeter = 14,642-ft

242 x 3600 . . . . . perimeter = 7,684-ft

300 x 2904 . . . . . perimeter = 6,408-ft

363 x 2400 . . . . . perimeter = 5,526-ft

484 x 1800 . . . . . perimeter = 4,568-ft

600 x 1452 . . . . . perimeter = 4,104-ft

726 x 1200 . . . . . perimeter = 3,852-ft

800 x 1089 . . . . . perimeter = 3,778-ft

900 x 968 . . . . . . perimeter = 3,736-ft
