How many feet are an acre and please not in square feet?

Answer 1

Its about 209.71 by 209.71 feet but there's a lot more decimals. use the square root button on the standard calculator on calculator.com for the exact answer. also a very useful website!!! :)

An acre is a measure of area which contains 43560 square feet. Thus as long as the sides of the rectangle multiplied together come to this, it will be an acre; thus, for example, rectangle with sides:

• 1 ft x 43560 ft
• 2 ft x 21780 ft
• 4 ft x 10890 ft
• 8 ft x 5445 ft
• 40 ft x 1089 ft
• 66 ft x 660 ft

are all rectangles with an area of one acre and so could be the feet by feet of an acre. However:

The last example above is [probably] the origin of the size of an acre as it is 1 chain (22 yds or 66 ft) wide by 1 furlong (220 yds or 660 ft) long. This would represent the size of field that could be ploughed in one day - the furlong being "furrow length" (that is the length of furrow) that could be ploughed in one go before resting the oxen; before commencing the next furrow, completing a chain's width of these furrows in one day.

Answer 2

An acre is a measurement of AREA, not of LENGTH. Therefore, any answer MUST be in square feet.

Answer 3

Feet is a measurement of length and an acre measures area. You cannot convert between the two of them.
