An acre is a unit of area, not length, and it is equal to 43,560 square feet. To find the length of a side of a square acre, you would need to calculate the square root of the area of an acre. The square root of 43,560 square feet is approximately 208.71 feet. Therefore, the length of a side of a square acre is approximately 208.71 feet.

An 'acre' is an amount of coverage of a surface. It can be any shape, as long as it covers 1 acre of surface.

If it's a square plot of land, then each side of the square is [ 208.7 feet ] long (rounded).

If it's a circular plot of land, then the diameter of the circle is [ 117.75 feet ] (rounded).

It could be a rectangle measuring [ 180 ft by 242 ft ].

Or it could be a rectangle measuring [ 360 ft by 121 ft ].

Or a rectangle measuring [ 45 ft by 968 ft ].

Or a rectangle measuring [ 87,120 ft by 6 inches ].

In each case, the area inside the boundary is 43,560 square feet. THAT'S what makes it one acre,
not any particular shape.
