How do you figure out the square footage of 6/10 of a mile x 6/10 of a mile?

Question

We are trying to figure out how many acres a certain plot of land is. We measured two sides of the land, which equalled 3/10ths of a mile, and we are struggling to figure out the rest. The land is a square plot. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you in advance! PL&C

Answer 1

6/10mile^2

that equals to

36/100^square mile


HOWEVER ACORDING TO THE INFO YOU GAVE

you said it was 3/10th, then that would be

9/100 square miles

Answer 2

If each side is 3/10 a mile, then you multiply 3/10 miles by 5280 ft/mile to change the units into feet, which equals 1584 feet and then you square that to get 2,509,056 square feet.

If you are looking for how many acres, then there are 43,560 square feet in an acre, so it is 57.6 acres.

Answer 3

A square mile has 640 acres. Since square root of 640 is not rational, it's easier to think of 10 acres as being 1/8th mile by 1/8th mile.

6/10 * 6/10 = x/640
36/100 = x/640
9*640/25 = x
5760/25 = x
230.4 acres = x

But if it was 3/10 x 3/10, then it would be 57.6 acres

Answer 4

If two sides were 3/10ths of a mile each, why are you asking for an area of 6/10ths x 6/10ths ???
Answer 1... (6/10 x 6/10 miles)
5,280 feet = 1 mile.
(5,280/10) x 6 = 3,168 feet
3,168 x 3,168 = 10,036,224 square feet. = 230.4 acres.

Answer 2...(3/10 x 3/10 miles)
(5,280/10) x 3 = 1,584
1584 x 1584 = 2,509,056 square feet = 57.6 acres.

Answer 5

(6/10) mile = 965.6064 meters

965.6064 meters = 3,168 feet

L*W= Area
3,168ft * 3,168ft = 10,036,224 sq. ft.
(I think)

Answer 6

now change miles to feet and you'll have your answer
you have to get a reference book to know how many feet are in one mile and then you figure how many feet are in 3/10 of a mile

1mile 3/10mile

?feet ? feet

Answer 7

0.6mi=0.6mi*5280ft/mi=3168'
3168'^2=10,036,224 ft^2 or 230.4 acres
