How many feet are in the perimeter of 50 acre?

Answer 1

You can't tell the perimeter from the area.

If the 50-acre area has straight sides, then the shortest possible perimeter is

5,903.2 feet, or about 1.118 miles. But it can be anydistance more than that.

For example . . .

-- If the plot is a rectangle 1,000-ft wide by 2,178-ft long, then its area is 50 acres,

and its perimeter is 8,356-ft, or about 1.583 miles.

-- If the plot is a rectangle 500-ft wide by 4,356-ft long, then its area is still 50 acres,

but its perimeter is 9,712-ft, or about 1.84 miles.
