Perimeter is the sum of the edges.
In this example there are two edges of 11 miles and two edges of 1 mile so perimeter = 11 + 11 + 1 +1 = 24 miles

The area doesn't tell you the perimeter.-- If the square mile is inside a circle, then the perimeter (circumference) is 3.545 miles.-- If the square mile is inside a square, then the perimeter is 4.000 miles.-- If the square mile is inside rectangle that's 2 miles long and 1/2 mile wide,then the perimeter is 5.000 miles.-- If the square mile is inside a rectangle that's 10 miles long and 0.1 mile wide,then the perimeter is 20.2 miles...etc.The area doesn't tell you the perimeter.
That depends on the shape. 160 acres is one-forth of a square mile. If the plot of land is a square it will be 1/2 mile on each side, so the perimeter will be 2 miles. But it could also be 1 mile long and 1/4 mile wide, so the perimeter would be 2 1/2 miles.
1 square mile = 640 acres100 acres = (100/640) = (1/6.4) square miles = (1) x (1/6.4) square miles.If the 100-acre plot is rectangular and 1 mile long, it's (1/6.4) = 0.15625 mile = 825 feet wide.
