Your question is senseless. Square acre? There's no such thing. An acre is a measure of area, not length. It makes as much sense to me as cubic gallons...

An acre is the name of a unit of area in a number of different systems, including Imperial units and United States customary units. The most commonly used acres today are the international acre and, in the United States, the survey acre.
There are always 4,840 square yards or 43,560 square feet in an acre. Because of alternative definitions of a yard or a foot, the exact size of an acre also varies slightly. Related units of length are the acre's length of one furlong (220 yards) and the acre's breadth of one chain (4 rods or 22 yards).
(The acre is often used to express areas of land. In the metric system, the hectare is commonly used for the same purpose. An acre is approximately 0.4 hectares.)
One acre is slightly less than 91 yards on an American football field, with the full field, including the end zones, covering approximately 1.32 acres.
Now you do the math!

Since the traditional measure of an acre is 4 * 40 rods, the side of a square acre is clearly â160 = 12.649 rod.
