Expressing area on the ground as an acre has it's origin in antiquity.
In "feet" it is defined as an area measuring 66 be 660. This is 43,560 sq ft.
Originally it was defined as ten square chains. A chain was a measuring tool that had 100 links. The chain itself was 66 feet long; such that if you had ten parcels each (66 by 66 = one square chain) the area would be (66 x 66 = 4,356 sq ft).
Ten square chains was 4,356 x 10 = 43,560.
When I want to remember the area of an acre, I always think of it as 66 x 660.
When our first president George Washington surveyed the country he used chains as the measuring tool.

An acre is 44000 square feet. The square root of 44000 is approximately 210 so an acre is approximately
210 feet * 210 feet.

Roughly 200' x 200' (specifically 208.7 feet on each side, but I just use 200x200 for rough calculation). Specifically it's 4840 sq yds, but a perfect square is about 200' x 200' as I said.

220 yards by 22 yards, which translates to 660 feet by 66 feet.
