The word "square" is incorrectly applied if asking about 1 square acre.

The acre is a unit of area in a number of different systems, including the Imperial and U.S. customary systems. The most commonly used acres today are the international acre and, in the United States, the survey acre. The most common use of the acre is to measure tracts of land.

One acre comprises 4,840 square yards, or 43,560 square feet, or about 4,046.86 square meters = 0.404686 hectares.

All that said, an acre of land, which is a measure of the area of a plot of land, can come in different shapes. An acre may be square, or it may be a rectangle that is half as wide as it is long. Or a rectangle that is four times longer than it is wide. It could even be a circle, elipse, or other shapes. How "wide" it is will vary with the shape.
