What is 16.5 acres equivalent to?

Answer 1

Acre is a unit of area. There are 43560 square feet in an acre, so 16.5 * 43560 = 718,740 square feet.

There are 640 acres in a square mile, so 16.5/ 640 = 0.026 sq miles.

If the 16.5 acres form a square, the length of each side is equal to the square root of 718740 sq ft = 847.78 ft on each of a side.

I have used the standard "survey acres" in all of these calculations. Note, there is another unit of measure called "suburb acres" which is the equivalent to 36000 square feet.

Also, real estate agents frequently round-up, so a 10,000 square feet lot becomes approximately 1/3 acre.
