What is the perimeter of 5 acres?

Answer 1

To calculate the perimeter of 5 acres, we first need to know the shape of the land. Since acres are a measure of area, not perimeter, we would need additional information such as the dimensions or shape of the land to determine the perimeter. Once we have that information, we can use the formula for the perimeter of the specific shape (rectangle, square, circle, etc.) to find the total distance around the 5-acre plot.

Answer 2

Well, darling, 5 acres is a unit of area, not length. It's like asking how many apples are in a square foot. You'll need the dimensions of the land to calculate the perimeter. So, put on your thinking cap and grab a measuring tape before asking me to work my magic.

Answer 3

Oh, dude, the perimeter of 5 acres is like the distance around it, you know? So, if you want to calculate it, you gotta know the shape of the land. It's not like a one-size-fits-all answer, man. You need to know if it's a square, a rectangle, or some funky shape to figure that out.

Answer 4

An acre is 43560 square feet, imagine a square:

208.7103

X 208.7103 ft.

The perimeter of ONE acre (adding all 4 sides) would be

208.7103

+208.7103

+208.7103

+208.7103

= 834.8413 feet.

The perimeter of FIVE acres (five of these sqares side by side or 208.7103 X 1043.5516) would be:

208.7103

+ 1043.5516

+ 208.7103

+ 1043.5516

= 2504.5239

There are 5820 feet in a mile, so the perimeter of 5 acres is 0.474 miles

The above answer is only true if the area is in the form of a 5*1 rectangle. Was there any justification for selecting that configuration?

Answer 5

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.

5 acres is 217,800 square feet. The smallest perimeter for 5 acres will be attained if it is a circular area with a perimeter of 1654.37 ft.

Or the 217,800 square feet could be in the form of a rectangle which is:

467 ft * 467 ft (approx) and a perimeter of 1,867 ft or

2,178 ft * 100 ft and a perimeter of 4,556 ft or

21,780 ft * 10 ft and a perimeter of 43,580 ft or

2,178,000,000 ft * 0.0001 ft and a perimeter of 4,356,000,000.0002 ft
As you can see there is no upper limit.
