It depends on the geometric shape of the land.

It depends on the shape of the acre. The perimeter could be infinite if the acre were a very thin rectangle. There is a minimum perimeter that is achieved if the acre is a circular area.
I presume your acre is square. Then it's around 835 feet.

1 acre = 4840 sq yd
So its minimum perimeter (based on a rectangular paddock)
= perimeter of a square with this area
= 4â(4840)
= 88â10 yd
â 278.28 yd
So P ⥠278.28 yd
If the paddock is any shape then cosmo is correct
Minimum P
= circumference of circle with that area
= â(4ÏA)
= â(4Ï * 4840)
â 246.62 yd
So for any shaped paddock P ⥠246.62 yd
and for a rectangular paddock P ⥠278.28 yd

Go and see how much you can plow in one day, and thats how big an acre is. Then measure around it.
