If you have a perfect square that is equal to 1 acre, what is the length of the sides and how do you do it?

Hi Shannon,

One acre is 43,560 square feet so a square, with area one acre would have a side if length the square root of 43,560 or approximately 208.71 feet. That is

208.71feet 208.71feet = 43559.86 square feet
