Best Answer

An area can have any shape; it can have any area greater than or equal to the minimum perimeter which is given by a circle.

Thus the perimeter is any perimeter you like greater than or equal to approx 1459 yds (a circle of radius approx 232.21 yds).

The area is not sufficient information to determine the length and width - and therefore the perimeter. First of all, there is no reason to suppose that the area is rectangular as opposed to circular or triangular or some other simple or complicated shape. Even if, on the basis that the question asks for length and width, you assume that it is a rectangle, there are infinitely many possible answers: ranging from nearly square areas to extremely long very thin strips.

You can't tell. The area doesn't tell you the dimensions. In fact, the area doesn't even
tell you the shape. There are an infinite number of possibilities, all with the same area.

The smallest possible perimeter of 35 acres is a circle, with diameter of 464.4 yards
(rounded). Its perimeter (circumference) is 1459 yards (rounded).

The smallest possible perimeter of a 35-acre rectangle is that of a square, with sides
of 411.6 yards (rounded). Its perimeter is 1646 yards (rounded).

From there, the perimeter can be anything, without limit, and still enclose 35 acres
of area. There is no maximum.

For example, a rectangle 1-ft wide and 288.75 miles long encloses 35 acres of area,
inside a perimeter that's 2 feet longer than 577.5 miles.

And if you know any one side length, just divide the total sf by that # and -WOW- you now have all four side lengths.
