Best Answer

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

shapes and perimeters that all have areas of 100 acres.

The shortest perimeter possible is a circle, with diameter (distance across) of 2,355 feet.

The distance around it is 7,398 feet (about 1.4 miles).

The shortest possible perimeter with straight sides is a square, 2,087 feet on every side.

The distance around it is 8,348 feet (about 1.58 miles).

If you stay with rectangles, there are an infinite number of different rectangles with different

dimensions and different perimeters, that all have areas of 100 acres. The distance around

every one of them is larger than 1.58 miles, and it can be anything up to infinity.

It depends on the shape of the area. For a shape with that area, the distance around(perimeter) is: Square:1.58 miles
Circle: 1.40 miles
Equilateral Triangle: 1.80 miles
