Very interesting question. The answer is: There is no answer, because knowing
the area doesn't tell you the shape or the perimeter.
There are an infinite number of rectangles that all have the same area but
different perimeters.
The shortest perimeter that can enclose 120 acres is a circle, with diameter of
about 2,580 ft, or 0.4886 mile. The perimeter (circumference) is 1.535 mile. (rounded)
The rectangle with the shortest perimeter that encloses 120 acres is a square
with sides of 2,286-ft. The perimeter is 9,145-ft or 1.732 miles.
The perimeter can be anything greater than that. The more long and skinny and
"unsquare" the rectangle is, the longer the perimeter is, for the same area.
Examples:
1,800-ft x 2,904-ft
Area = 120 acres
Perimeter = 9,408-ft = 1.782 miles
1,452-ft x 3,600-ft:
Area = 120 acres
Perimeter = 10,105-ft = 1.914 miles
726-ft x 7,200-ft:
Area = 120 acres
Perimeter = 15,862-ft = 3.002 miles
242-ft x 21,600-ft
Area = 120 acres
Perimeter = 43,684-ft = 8.273 miles
60.5-ft x 86,400-ft
Area = 120 acres
Perimeter = 172,921-ft = 32.750 miles

What is the perimeter of 500 acres in miles?
To find the perimeter of 500 acres in miles, we first need to determine the dimensions of the area. Since 1 acre is equal to 43,560 square feet, 500 acres would be 500 * 43,560 = 21,780,000 square feet. To find the dimensions, we need to calculate the square root of 21,780,000 which is approximately 4,666. Therefore, the perimeter would be 4,666 feet or about 0.88 miles.
How many feet is it around 100 acres?
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.
What is the perimeter of 160 acres?
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.
How many miles around the perimeter of 280 acres?
2.65 miles.
How many miles are around the perimeter of 30 acres?
The perimeter of a 30-acre square lot is 0.866 miles.
How many miles are around the perimeter of 20 acres in a rectangle?
0.125
How many miles are around the perimeter of 24.5 acres?
The perimeter of a 24.5-acre square lot is 4,132.25 feet.
What is the perimeter of 340 acres in miles?
The perimeter of a 340-acre square lot is 2.92 miles.
How many acres are in a rectangular plot of land that is 18 miles wide and 12 miles long?
138240 acres
What is the perimeter of 17 acres in miles?
The perimeter of a 17-acre square lot is 0.65 miles (3,442.14 feet).
How many miles around 724 acres?
That depends on the shape of the lot. However, the perimeter of a 724-acre square lot is 4.25 miles.
How many miles is the perimeter of thirty five acres?
Approximately 0.94 miles.
How many miles in perimeter of 3.5 acres?
I don’t know
What is perimeter of 600 acres in miles?
The perimeter of a 600-acre square lot is 3.87 miles.
How many miles are around the perimeter of 52 acres?
You can't tell. Knowing the area doesn't tell you the shape, the dimensions, or the perimeter. The shortest possible perimeter that encloses an acre is a circle with a circumference of 0.1401 mile. (rounded) The shortest possible trip around an acre with straight sides a square with a perimeter of 0.1581 mile. (rounded) But it can be anything greater than that. For example, a lot that's 660 feet long and 66 feet wide has an area of 1 acre, and a perimeter of 0.275 mile. And a long skinny strip, 1-ft wide and 43,560 feet long also has an area of 1 acre, and a perimeter of 16.5 miles.
