How many times around an acre equals one mile?

Answer 1

You can't tell the distance around from knowing the area. There are an infinite number

of distances that it could be.

Here are a few examples:

#1:

A circle, 235.5 feet across.

Area = 1 acre.

Distance around = 739.9 feet.

One mile = 7.14 times around.

#2:

A square, 208.7 feet on each side.

Area = 1 acre.

Distance around = 834.8 feet.

One mile = 6.32 times around.

#3:

A rectangle, 121-ft by 360-ft.

Area = 1 acre.

Distance around = 962-ft.

One mile = 5.49 times around.

#4:

A rectangle, 72-ft by 605-ft.

Area = 1 acre.

Distance around = 1,354-ft.

One mile = 3.9 times around.

#5:

A rectangle, 9-ft by 4,840-ft.

Area = 1 acre.

Distance around = 9,698-ft.

One mile = 0.54 of once around.

Answer 2

A mile is 5,280 feet in length, while an acre is 43,560 square feet in area. To find out how many times around an acre equals one mile, you would need to divide the perimeter of a mile (5,280 feet) by the perimeter of an acre (about 835 feet). This would mean you would need to go around an acre approximately 6.3 times to equal one mile in distance.
