Any you like as long as the length of the plot in yards is 227,480 yds divided by the width, making the AREA of the rectangle always 47 acres (227,480 sq yds)
eg the rectangle could be:
1 yd by 227,480 yds;
2 yds by 113,740 yds;
22 yds by 10,340 yds
220 yds by 1,034 yds (or 1 furlong by 47 chains)
An acre was originally the area that an ox could plough in a day, and is likely to have been an rectangle a chain wide and a furlong (furrow-long) long, ie 22 yds by 220 yds = 4840 sq yds. However, as it is a measure of area, it doesn't matter what shape it is as long as the enclosed area covers 1 acre, for example it could be a circle with a radius of approx 39.25 yds

47
How many sides does a polygon have with a measure of the interior angles of 8100?
47 sides
How many acres are 4700 ft?
If you mean 4,700 square feet, as in an area 47 feet by 100 feet, then 4,700 square feet = 0.10789715335 of an acre.
How do you find the perimeter of a rectangle when the Length is 15 and the width is 8.5?
P=2L+2W Add double the length to double the width 30+17=47
Find the area of a rectangle whose diagonal is 10 feet long and makes a 55 degree angle with one of the sides?
A rectangle = LW If the diagonal of length of 10 ft makes a 55⁰ angle with length L, then the length of width W equals to 10 sin 55⁰ ft, and the length of L equals to 10 cos 55⁰ ft. So that A = LW = (10 sin 55⁰ ft)(10 cos 55⁰ ft) ≈ 47 ft2
