The area doesn't tell you the dimensions or the perimeter. There's an infinite
number of rectangles that all have the same area but different perimeters.
The smallest perimeter that encloses 13 acres is a circle with diameter of 849.12 feet,
and perimeter (circumference) of 2,667.6 feet.
The smallest possible perimeter of a rectangle that encloses 13 acres is square
with sides of 752.5 feet, and perimeter of 3,010.1 feet .
You can draw 13-acre rectangles with any perimeter you want that's larger than that.
Here are a few. These all enclose 13 acres.

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).
A rectangular lot that's 150-ft wide has to be 290.4-ftlongin order to enclose exactly 1 acre.
Short answer:Any length you like greater than or equal to 132√(30π) ≈ 1281.47 ft Long answer:An acre is a measure of area and as such it does not matter what shape 3 acres is as long as its area is 3 acres. The minimum perimeter is if you have a circle of area 3 acres which give a perimeter of 132√(30π) ≈ 1281.47 ftIf you have a square with an area of 3 acres, then the perimeter will be 264√30 ≈ 1445.99 ftThe acre was originally the area of a rectangle 1 chain (66 ft) wide by 1 furlong (660 ft) long. If three of these rectangles are placed next to each other (with a side in common) to provide an area of 3 acres, then depending how the rectangles are joined, the perimeter could be 1716 ft, 2904 ft or 4092 ft.If you have a single rectangular area of 3 acres in the same proportions as the original acre (so it would be 66√3 ≈ 114.32 ft wide and 660√3 ≈ 1143.15 ft long), it would have a perimeter of 1452√3 ≈ 2514.94 ft.These are just some examples, by varying the shape you can have any length you like greater than or equal to the minimum of about 1281.47 ft.
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.
Yes, it is less than half an acre. Half an acre would be shown as .5 acres.
