The area doesn't tell you anything about the shape or the measurements.
There are an infinite number of different shapes with different measurements
that all have the same 1-acre area.
The smallest possible perimeter for 1 acre is a circle. The perimeter (circumference)
is 739.9 feet, and the diameter is 235.5 feet.
The smallest possible straight measurements for a 1-acre rectangle is 834.8 feet.
That's if it's a square, with sides = 208.7 feet.
If the 1-acre is a rectangle but not a square, then the sides can be anything
longer than 208.7 feet. It only depends on how long and skinny the rectangle
is. Here are a few examples. All of the rectangles on this list enclose 1 acre:
220' x 198'
330' x 132'
440' x 99'
605' x 72'
1,210' x 36'
