Question from RICHARD: I AM GETTING A 10 ACRE TRACT OF LAND OUT OF A 50 ACRE TRACT.ITS GOING TO BE PERFECTLY SQUARE. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT EACH PROPERTY LINE LENTH WILL BE?ON ALL FOUR SIDES.AND THE TOTAL SQUARE FEET WILL BE IN THIS 10 ACRE TRACT? |
Richard,
One acre is 43,560 square feet so 10 acres is 435,600 square feet. Hence the side length of a 10 acre square is √435,600 = 660 feet.
