How many acres in one mile?

"Acre" is an area, but "mile" is just a distance, so they don't convert. If they could,then you'd be able to go into a hardware store and buy an acre of rope.Now, if you have a square piece of land that's a mile long and a mile wide, the areaof that is one square mile, and there are 640 acres of area in it.


How many years would it take to see 365000000 acres if you looked at 1000 acres a day?

It would take 365,000 days to see 365,000,000 acres if you looked at 1,000 acres a day. This is equivalent to around 1,000 years, as there are approximately 365 days in a year.


How many acres in circle with a 6 mile radius?

That depends on the shape of the area. So we don't get confused, I want to differentiate the two separate meanings of the word "area" used here. One means a bounded piece of land, and I will call that a "plot". The other is the mathematical measure of the size of a bounded piece of land expressed in square units, and I will refer to that as "area". If the plot is a rectangle 1 foot wide and 1,583 feet long, the area is 1,583 square feet, or approximately 0.036 acres. If the plot is a rectangle 100 feet by 1,484 feet, the area is 148,400 square feet, or about 3.41 acres. If the plot is a 792-foot square, the area is 627,264 square feet, or 14.4 acres. If the plot is a perfect circle with a radius of approximately 504.2 feet, the area is approximately 798,648 square feet, or approximately 18.33 acres. This is the largest possible area for a plot with a circumference of 0.6 miles. There is, of course, an infinite number of shapes this plot can take, so it is impossible to determine the area without knowing the shape of the plot.


Why are there 640 acres in a square mile?

The acre dates back to very old surveyor's units called chains, rods, and links. An acre is 10 square chains or 100 square rods, for example. Those units were the sizes of actual tools used when surveying. 640 is simply the conversion factor to take those amounts to square miles. Today rods and chains are used about as often as cubits and hogsheads, but somehow the acre has survived - at least in the U.S., which AFAIK is the only country still using it to measure land. Everyone else uses hectares (1/100 of a square kilometer, or about 2.5 acres).


How do you convert acres to square miles?

1 acre = 0.0015625 square miles. So you take the number of acres and multiply by 0.0015625 to get the number of square miles. For example: 100 acres = 0.15625 square miles. Feel free to also use the Online Conversion Calculator shown in the Related Link below.

How many laps around 5 acres makes a mile?

To determine how many laps around 5 acres make a mile, first note that 1 acre is equivalent to 43,560 square feet. Therefore, 5 acres equals 217,800 square feet. A mile is 5,280 feet long. The perimeter of a rectangular shape that covers 5 acres can vary, but if we assume a square configuration, the sides would be about 660 feet each. This results in a perimeter of approximately 2,640 feet. Thus, it would take about 2.0 laps around a square 5-acre plot to equal a mile.
