My parents are buying a house with land-but there looks like a lot more land than they are saying there is. So just wondered how to work out the acerage with the measurements of the field!

An acre is 4840 square yards (70yards X 70yards).
In metric equivilant, an acre = 0.4047 hectares (ha).
One hectare = 10,000 square meters.
Thus, one acre = 4.047 square meters.
And, as one linear yard = 0.9144 linear meters, thus an acre may be described as a square with sides = 64.008 meters. (rounded & truncated numbers.)
An acre is over 90% of an American football field, to give you a good idea of the size.

Well I will try--
For example - if your property lines on the sides are 220 feet long And the front and rear prop lines are 200 feet
220 X 200 = 44,000 sq ft
That is just a little more than an acre- 44,000 sq ft

its is equal to a square that is 208x208 feet
or
there are 640 acres in a square mile
you can measure these using a tape measure or lots of other methods, can you be more specific of what you are doing so we can provide you more specific answers?

if its square, measure lenth in feet times width in feet. 234 x 377=88,218 which is 2.025 acres.
Magic number is 43,560 square feet.

if it's a square, it's about 70 yards on each side.
