How do you calculate how many acres are found in a specific boundary - Example - 434 feet by 289 feet is how many acres?
First you need to calculate total square feet. So, 434 x 289 = 125,426 square feet. Now, one acre has 43,560 square feet. Divide 125,426 by 43,560 to get acres. In this case it is 2.8793 acres.
How many square feet are in 40 acres?
An acre is 208.75 feet on a side. So your formula is 208.75 times 208.75, times 40 for 40 acres. You multiply it out. Or you can try 5,280 time 5,280 divided by 640, since there are 640 acres in a square mile. Then you multiply by 40 for 40 acres. Or you could simply divide by 16 the first time. There is a slight difference between the two, but since it is impossible to have a flat piece of land on a round earth, the measurement of an acre is imprecise.
How many linear meters in the perimeter or seven acres?
An area of 7 acres does not specify its shape. It can be a circular, square or in the form of an extremely long and thin strip. The first has the minimum perimeter, the latter can have an infinite perimeter.
Which quadrants does the line representing the equation y equals 8x pass through?
It will pass through the first (when x is positive) and third quadrants (when x is negative, y will also be negative).
What is the perimeter of 5 acres?
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?

Law that gave Indian families 160 acres of land?
The General Allotment Act, also known as the Dawes Act, provided that the head of each Indian family was to be allotted a 160-acre farm out of reservation lands. If the new land owner abandoned tribal practices and adopted 'habits of civilized life', they would be granted American citizenship. Surplus reservation land would be sold to white settlers. This caused the Indians to lose approximately 90-million acres of land.
