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
Perimeter = 2*(5 yds + 3 yds) = 2*8 yds = 16 yds
Area = π × radius² → radius = √(Area / π) Circumference = 2 × π × radius = 2 × π × √(Area / π) = 2 × √(Area × π) 1 acre = 4840 sq yds → circumference = 2 × √(1.5 × 4840 sq yds × π) ≈ 302 yds.
An acre is a measure of area and has two dimensions;640 acres by 640 acres is 409600 acres2 which has four dimensions.Methinks you do not mean a property that is 640 acres by 640 acres.Getting back to just 640 acres (and forgetting the "by 640 acres") as long as the shape has an area of 640 acres it doesn't matter what shape it is.The shape with an area of 640 acres with least perimeter is a circle:area = π x radius2⇒ radius = √(area/π)circumference = 2 x π x radius= 2 x π x √(area/π)= 2 x √(area x π)= 2 x √(640 x 4840 sq yds x π)≈ 6239 ydsAny other shape will have a longer perimeter - it can have any value greater than approx 6239 yards, examples a rectangle with sides:2 yds and 1548800 yds will have an area of 640 acres and a perimeter of 3097604 yds;1 yd and 3097600 yds will have an area of 640 acres and a perimeter of 6195202 yds.

Assuming you want a rectangular area, it can have any width and depth AS LONG AS width × length = 5 acres, ie width = 5 acres ÷ length.Some examples are:1 yd by 24200 yds (13¾ miles)2 yds by 12100 yds (6⅞ miles)4 yds by 6050 yds (3 7/16 miles)5 yds by 4840 yds (22 furlongs)8 yds by 3025 yds (13¾ furlongs)10 yds by 2420 yds (11 furlongs)11 yds (½ chain) by 2200 yds (10 furlongs)20 yds by 1210 yds (5½ furlongs)22 yds (1 chain) by 1100 yds (5 furlongs)25 yds by 968 yds40 yds by 605 yds44 yds (2 chains) by 550 yds (2½ furlongs)50 yds by 484 yds (22 chains)55 yds (2½ chains) by 440 yds (2 furlongs)88 yds (4 chains) by 275 yds (1¼ furlongs)100 yds by 242 yds (11 chains)110 yds (5 chains) by 220 yds (1 furlong)121 yds (5½ chains) by 200 yds½ furlong (110 yds) by 10 chains (220 yds)Historically an acre was the area of land a team of oxen could plough in 1 day and was a furrow long (furlong or 220 yds) and a chain (22 yds) wide (of the furrows). This was based on a rectangular field, but as the acre is a measure of area it can be any shape.
Area of the rectangle = base*height and measured in square yards
Well, before we really get into it, "104yds" is a distance, not an area. 'Yard'is not a unit of area. But 'square yard' is, so I'm going to assume you mean"140 square yards" for the area, because then I can go on and answer the question.And the answer is: There's no way to tell. Knowing the area doesn't tell youthe perimeter.Here are five different rectangles:#1). 1 yd by 104 yds#2). 2 yds by 52 yds#3). 13 ft by 24 ft#4). 4 yds by 26 yds#5). 8 yds by 13 ydsAll 5 of these rectangles have the same area . . . 140 square yards.But their perimeters are:#1). 210 yds#2). 108 yds#3). 54 yds#4). 60 yds#5). 42 ydsAnd just for grins, here's a bonus rectangle at no extra cost:Length . . . 1inchWidth . . . . 2miles 1520yardsArea . . . . . 140square yardsPerimeter . 5miles 1,280yards 2inches

Area = length x width, so length = area/width = 116/4 = 29 yds
Perimeter = 2*(5 yds + 3 yds) = 2*8 yds = 16 yds
Total surface area = (2*pi*62)+(pi*12*10) = 603.186 square yards rounded to 3 decimal places
2 yds 2 ft + 1 yds 2 ft = 3 yds + 4 ft = 3 yds + (1 yd 1 ft) = 4 yds 1 ft
Area = π × radius² → radius = √(Area / π) Circumference = 2 × π × radius = 2 × π × √(Area / π) = 2 × √(Area × π) 1 acre = 4840 sq yds → circumference = 2 × √(1.5 × 4840 sq yds × π) ≈ 302 yds.
