The 4 sides of a rectangular 40 acre parcel total one mile. Therefore the length and width of a square 40 acre parcel would each be 1320 feet (5280/4).

There is no way to compare these. A yard is a unit of length. One dimension only. Acres are measurement of area. Two dimensions length and width. 40 acres could be 1 yard in one direction and many, many yards in the other direction. Or it could be 100 yards in one direction and less than the first in the other direction. 193,600 square yards is equal to 40 acres so pick any 2 numbers that multiply to give that answer and you will have the dimensions of 40 acres.
A square with an area of 40 acres has side lengths of: 1,320 feet (1/4 mile) each.
Area = Length*Width so Width = Area/Length = 220/5.5 = 40 cm.
(6 + w) = length w = width (6 + w)(w) = 40 square inches w squared + 6w = 40 w = 4 inches and the length must be equal to 10 inches
The idea is to multiply length x width. That will give you an answer in square feet. Then you convert that to acres.
