How many miles are around the perimeter of 20 acres?

Answer 1

Well, isn't that a lovely question! To find the perimeter of 20 acres, we first need to convert acres to square feet. Since 1 acre is equal to 43,560 square feet, 20 acres is 871,200 square feet. Then, we can find the perimeter by calculating the square root of the area and multiplying it by 4. Just remember, there are many different ways to approach a problem, and it's all about enjoying the journey of discovery.

Answer 2

To calculate the perimeter of 20 acres, we first need to determine the length of each side of the square plot of land. One acre is equal to 43,560 square feet, so 20 acres would be 871,200 square feet. To find the length of one side of the square, we take the square root of the total area, which is approximately 933.17 feet. Since there are four sides to a square, the perimeter would be 4 times the length of one side, which is approximately 3,732.68 feet or about 0.707 miles.

Answer 3

An area of 20 acres can have millions of different shapes. It can be round, oval, square, rectangular, triangular, hexagonal, or irregular. Knowing the area doesn't tell you the shape or the proportions. As long as the total included area is 43,560 square feet, it's an acre.

The smallest possible perimeter for 20 acres would be a circle with a diameter of 1053.2 feet. The circumference is 3308.75 ft = 0.63 mile.

The smallest possible plot with straight sides would be a square, with sides of 933.4 feet, and perimeter of 3,733.5 ft = 0.707 mile.

But you can make 20 acres have as large a perimeter as you want, with no upper limit. For example:

A strip of land 10 feet wide and 87,120 ft (16.5 miles) long. Area = 20 acres. Perimeter = 33 miles and 20 ft.
