What are the perimeter dimensions on 15 acres square?

Answer 1

The formula for perimeters is: P=2*x+2*y (where P=Perimeter, x=width, and y=length) or more simply: Perimeter = (2*width) + (2*length) Therefore we need to find the width and length of the area (in feet) to determine the perimeter. For the solution to this problem first convert the acreage into square feet: 1 acre = 43,560 square feet so: 15 acres * 43,560 = 653,400 square feet Now you have the square footage. The formula for determining square footage (n) is: Width (in feet) * length (in feet) = n (653,400 square feet) n can be determined by taking the square root of 653,400: √653,400 = 808.3316 feet (808.3316 * 808.3316=653,400) Since we are dealing with a square, we now have both the width and length, and can plug them into our perimeter formula: Perimeter = (2*width) + (2*length) P=(2*808.3316)+(2*808.3316) or: P=(1616.6632)+(1616.6632) Perimeter = 3233.3264 feet
