How many times would you have to walk around a 2 acre lot for a mile?

Answer 1

Well, darling, a mile is approximately 5,280 feet. One acre is about 43,560 square feet, so a 2-acre lot is 87,120 square feet. If you were to walk around the perimeter of a 2-acre lot, you'd cover 348,480 feet, which is roughly 66 miles. So, put on your walking shoes, honey, 'cause you've got quite the trek ahead of you!

Answer 2

It would depend on the shape and dimensions of the lot.

A typical two-acre lot is likely to be a rectangle 132 feet by 660 feet. In this case, a circuit is 132+660+132+660 = 1584 feet. Dividing this into 5280 feet in a mile gives: 3 and one-third times.

As an example of a different shape, assuming a square lot:

An acre is 1/640 of a square mile. The square root of 1/640 gives the length of an edge of the square as 0.0395 miles. The total distance around is 4 times this, or 0.158 miles in one circuit. The reciprocal of this give the number of circuits in one mile: 6.325 times.

More complex shapes and rectangles of different dimensions will give other answers.

Answer 3

You would run around the acre 14 times to total a mile. I walk an acre every day 7 times to total 1 mile.
