how many feet are there in an acre

Hi Allison,

Feet and acres are units of quite different measurements. A foot is a measure of distance and an acre is a measure of area. I expect that you mean square feet.

As for SQUARE FEET,

1 acre
= 43,560 sq. ft.
= 160 square rods (where a rod = 16.5 feet)

There are 640 acres in one square mile.

Cheers,
Chris
