The area doesn't tell you the perimeter. There are an infinite number of different
shapes with different perimeters 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 perimeter for a 1-acre rectangle is 834.8 feet.
That's if it's a square, with sides = 208.7 feet.
The perimeter for a 1-acre rectangle can be anything more than that. 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', perimeter = 836'
330' x 132', perimeter = 924'
440' x 99', perimeter = 1,078'
605' x 72', perimeter = 1,354'
1,210' x 36', perimeter = 2,492'
2,420' x 18', perimeter = 4,876'

"Acre" is a unit of area. There's no such unit as "square acre". Linear "feet" is a unit of length or distance, not area. It can't be converted to acres. 1 acre = 43,560 square feet. 1/2 acre = (43,560 / 2) = 21,780 square feet.
1 acre = 43,560 square feet 0.11 acre = 4,791.6 square feet
There are 43,560 square feet in one acre. An acre is a unit of area. 640 acres equal a square mile. Hence, it is 1/640 of a square mile. Since a square mile contains 27,878,400 square feet, an acre is 27,878,400 divided by 640, which is 43,560 square feet. Remember: an acre can be converted to SQUARE feet, not plain (linear) feet. Square feet and feet are not the same units. A foot is unit of distance. A square foot is a unit of area.
There are 836.88 linear feet in one side of a square that is two and a half acres in size.
There are 23,347.44 square feet in 536 of an acre.
