It is probably easiest to imagine 40 acres in terms of the distance around it. Forty acres is equivalent to a square parcel that measures a quarter-mile on each side. 1 acre = 43,560 square feet to be exact. Thus 40 acres = 1,742,400 square feet. If you have a square parcel, each side would be 1,320 feet. 1 acre = 43,560 square feet 1 acre = 4046.86 square meters 1 mile = 5280 feet, 1/4 mile = 1320 feet 100 meters = 328.08399 feet 100 yards = 300 feet
It's useful to remember that a piece of ground 1 furlong long and 1 chain wide is an acre. Before the advent of the farm tractor this was considered to be a good day's work for the horse pulling the plough and the farm worker guiding it.
A "furlong" comes from a "furrow long" and is 220 yards in length. The "chain" (which was an early measuring device for measuring land) has a length of 22 yards (the same as the length of a cricket pitch from stumps to stumps). By multiplying the 220 yards by the 22 yards you should have 4840 square yards for 1 acre.
So 0.40 of an acre, which is 4 tenths of 4840 = 484 X 4 = 1936 square yards.

Answer: 40 acres = 1,742,400 square feet.
Exactly 40 miles. Changing from lower case to upper case does not alter the distance!
640 acres = 1 square mile
A square parcel of land with an area of 40 acres will measure 1,320 feet (1/4 mile) on each side.
1 acres is 10,000 square meters. 40 acres of the 400,000 square meters. 1 hectare is equal to 2.471054 acres. 98.84216 acres is equal to 40 acres. 0.154440868 square miles is equal to 40 acres.
40 acres = 1,742,400ft²
1,024,000 acres.
There are 25,600 acres in 40 square miles. This is because 1 square mile is equivalent to 640 acres. So, 40 square miles x 640 acres = 25,600 acres.
40% increase.
40 hectares is equivalent to approximately 99 acres. It is a relatively large area, often used in agriculture or land measurement.
40 acres is 400 square chains.
The southeast quarter of a section is 160 acres, and the southeast quarter of that is 40 acres. So, the southeast quarter of the southeast quarter of a section is 40 acres.
There are eight 5-acre parcels in 40 acres.
40 acres.
Think of it this way. If you walk around 40 acres you would walk about a mile.
1 square mile = 640 acres ⇒ 40 acres = 40 ÷ 640 sq miles = 1/16 sq mile = 0.0625 sq mile
