To enclose a 700-acre square lot would require about 4.2 miles of Fencing.
The minimum perimeter is when the 700 acres are inside a circle.
area_circle = πr² → r = √(area/π)
circumference = 2πr = 2π√(area/π) = 2 × √(π × area)
1 acre = 1/640 sq mile
→ minimum perimeter = 2 × √(π × 700/640 sq miles) ≈ 3.71 miles.
The fence is at least approx 3.71 miles long. Depending upon the exact shape of the area, depends how much more than this the fence will required to be.
For example, if the 700 acres was 700 fields a chain wide by a furlong long next to each other (making 1 big field a furlong by 700 chains), the length of fence required would be 2 × (220 + 22 × 700) yds = 31240 yds = 17¾ miles long.

The area is not sufficient information to determine the length and width. First of all, there is no reason to suppose that the area is rectangular as opposed to circular or triangular or some other simple or complicated shape. Even if you assume that it is a rectangle, there are infinitely many possible answers: ranging from nearly square areas to extremely long very thin strips.
To determine the amount of fence needed for a perimeter fence around 8 acres, we first need to convert the area from acres to square feet. Since 1 acre is equivalent to 43,560 square feet, 8 acres would be 8 x 43,560 = 348,480 square feet. The perimeter of a rectangular area can be calculated by using the formula P = 2(l + w), where P is the perimeter, l is the length, and w is the width. If we assume the area is a square (which maximizes the perimeter for a given area), we can find the length of one side by taking the square root of the total area, which gives us approximately 590.61 feet. Therefore, the total amount of fence needed for the perimeter would be 4 x 590.61 = 2,362.44 feet.
It depends how the acres are laid out. Is it in a square shape or a rectangle. How much of a rectangle. These are all factors in the perimeter.

A square plot of ground measuring 12 acres would encompass approximately 2925 linear feet of fence-line.
