1 square mile = 640 acres ⇒ 40 acres = 40 ÷ 640 sq miles = 1/16 sq mile = 0.0625 sq mile
There are 40 acres in 1/16th of a square mile 1 square mile = 640 acres
There are 10.89 acres in a 40-foot wide by half-mile long section.

in layman terms it could be a 1/4 mile deep by 3/4 mile long because 40 acres is 1/4 mile by 1/4 mile.
Exactly 40 miles. Changing from lower case to upper case does not alter the distance!
A quarter mile squared is 1/16 of a square mile = 40 acres.
A square parcel of land with an area of 40 acres will measure 1,320 feet (1/4 mile) on each side.
