Convert that to square feet. As a reminder, an acre is 43,560 square feet. Then, choose any width you like; divide the number of square feet by that number to get the corresponding length (for a rectangular area).
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).
1 acre = 43,560 square feet40' x 125' = 5,000 square feet = 0.115 acre (rounded)That's 11.48% of an acre . . . less than 1/8 of an acre.1/4 acre = 10,890 square feet. If a lot is a 1/4-acre rectangle,then its length and width multiply to produce 10,890 .The 'acre fraction' of any rectangle is(length in feet) times (width in feet)/43,560
First of all, why do you assume that the acre is rectangular? An acre can be circular of octagonal or a completely irregular shape. Next, even if you are told that the shape is rectangular, there is no way to distinguish between a near-square shape and a long thin shape. One third of an acre = 14520 sq ft. So it could be 120 ft x 121 ft or 1 foot x 14520 ft or 1 ft * 2.75 miles or 1 inch x 174242 ft or 1 inch x 33 miles etc
An acre is defined as 43,560 square feet; the sides of a square having that area would be the square root of that number, or about 208 feet 9 inches.
