An acre is an old English measurement of land and was 22 yards by 220 yards or 4,840 sq yards. The way people measured the land was with a pole 5 1/2 yards long and so the measurements for the acre were multiples of this. It is said that a acre was the area of land a team of oxen could plough in one day.

One acre is 43,560 square feet. Since it's an area as opposed to a single dimension, there are several measurements. As long as the area of the enclosed shape is 43,560 square feet, you have one acre. This can be any shape by the way.
