Question from Debbie: I just purchased 2.5 acres but must sever it myself. She sold me 2.5 acres, equal on all sides. How many feet on each side? |
Hi Debbie,
There are 43,560 square feet in an acre so 2.5 acres is 2.5 × 43,560 = 108,900 square feet. If the lot is a square, that is all sides are the same length L feet and each corner is a right angle then L2 = 108,900 square feet .
I hope this helps,
Penny
