As an acre is a measure of area, it can be any shape, but if it is a rectangle its width and length can be any size as long as width x length = 4840yds2 = 43560 ft2, eg 1/2 ft wide by 87120 ft long, 1 ft wide by 43560 ft long, 2 ft wide by 21780 ft long, etc. An Acre was originally the amount of land an ox could plough in one day and was 1 chain wide by 10 chains long, or 22yds x 220yds or 66ft x 660ft.
1 acre is equal to 43,560 square feet or 4840 square yards. The length and width can have any value.
43,560 square feet = 1 acre(110' x 115') = 12,650 square feet = 0.29 acre (rounded number)
You can't tell. The area doesn't tell you the dimensions. There are an infinite number of shapes, all with different dimensions, that all have areas of 1 acre. "One acre" only tells you how much ground it covers, but the outline of that area can have any shape. If your acre is circular, then its diameter is 235.5-ft. If it's square, then its sides are all 208.7-ft If it's a rectangle, then there are an infinite number of possibilities. Here are a few. They're all 1 acre: If it's 1 mile long, then it's 8ft 3in wide. If it's 4,840ft long, then it's 9ft wide. If it's 3,600ft long, then it's 12.1ft wide. If it's 528ft long, then it's 82.5ft wide. If it's 484ft long, then it's 90ft wide. If it's 360ft long, then it's 121ft wide. If it's 242ft long, then it's 180ft wide.
