There are 43560 square feet in an acre. An acre (if perfect square) is 208.71 feet wide by 208.71 feet long. An acre's square footage is determined by the shape of the property. The answer can only be given in sqf, and there would be 217800 sqf in 5 acres
300 feet x 300 feet = 90000 square feet 1 acre = 43560 square feet 90000 square feet x 1 acre/43560 square feet = 2.066 acres
An acre is 43,560 square feet. Half an acre is half that amount. Choose any number of feet for the length, then divide the square feet (for half an acre) by that number to get the width.
Because an acre is a measure of area, not length, it is defined in square feet. An acre can be of any shape so long as its area is exactly 43,560 square feet. The most standard shape for an acre is one furlong by one chain, or 660 feet by 66 feet. To find the linear measurements of other rectangular acres, just divide 43,560 by the number of feet you want on one side. A square-shaped acre would then be about 208.7 by 208.7 feet (because 208.7 x 208.7 = ~43,560). An acre 100 feet wide would be 435.6 feet long (100 x 435.6 = 43,560) and an acre 1 foot wide would be 43,560 feet long.
A parcel of land that is 1 foot wide by 43,560 feet long equals one acre. A parcel of land that measures 200 feet by 363 feet is also equal to one acre. If the parcel of land were square and measured 208.71 feet per side, its area would be equal to one acre, as well.
