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.
A 27 acre parcel contains 1,176,120 square feet.
1,320 feet per side.
We have to be careful here. First, I want to be sure that you know that there'sno such thing as a "square acre"."Acre" is a unit of area, specifically, 43,560 square feet of area, or 4,840 square yards.The acre can be any shape at all, with any combination of dimensions at all, justas long as it encloses that much area.Now, you're asking: "If the acre happens to be square, what are its dimensions ?"The answer is: the square root of (43,560 square feet) = 208.71 feet on each side. (rounded)
You would need 2,640 feet of fence.
