Question from Aaron: How many feet is the perimeter of 200 acres? |
Hi Aaron,
Acres is a measure of area and a 200 acre plot might have many different shapes with different perimeters. In the diagram below each of the five possible different 20 acre plots have different perimeters. I need to know more about the shape of your plot to determine its perimeter.
