There is no definitive answer for this question. There are actually an infinite number of valid answers, depending completely on the proportions of the 20-acre rectangle.

The shortest possible distance around a 20-acre rectangle is 3,733.52 feet; in this case the rectangle is actually a square that is 933.38 feet on a side. Every other possible rectangle would have a longer circumference.

Examples
  • A rectangle that measures 500 feet by 1,742.4 feet would enclose 20 acres; it would have a circumference of 4,484.8 feet.
  • A rectangle that measures 200 feet by 4,356 feet would enclose 20 acres; it would have a circumference of 9,112 feet.
  • A rectangle that measures 50 feet by 17,424 feet would enclose 20 acres; it would have a circumference of 34,948 feet.

As these examples illustrate, the distance around the 20-acre rectangle increases dramatically as the rectangle becomes farther from square. In fact, the upper limit of the circumference would be defined as "approaches infinity" as the short sides of the rectangle approach zero in length.

How many feet by 80 feet equals one acre80 feet by how many feet equals one acre?

1 acre = 43,560 square feet If you want the acre to be a rectangle with dimensions of 80 feet by 'x' feet, then 80x = 43,560 x = (43,560 / 80) = 544.5 feet


How many foot are on an acre?

The distance around is called the perimeter. You can't calculate the perimeter from the area, unless you know the shape. For example, a circle, a square, a 2:1 rectangle, a 3:1 rectangle, all have different perimeters for the same area.


How many times around an acre equals one mile?

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.

How many feet long and how many feet wide is one acre?

There's no definite answer. An acre is a unit of area. It can be any shape, just as long asthe area is 43,560 square feet.Even if it's definitely a rectangle, there are an infinite number of different rectangles that all have the same area.(For example, a [12 x 2] rectangle, a [8 x 3] rectangle, and a [6 x 4] rectangle, all have the same area.)If you want a square that encloses one acre of area, then each side of the square has to be about 208 feet.If you want a circle that encloses one acre, then the diameter of the circle has to be about 235 feet.
