How many miles/yards/feet is in an acre?

Question

What is considered an acre?

Answer 1

1 acre = 43560 Sq. feet
= 4840 Sq. yard
= 1/10 of Sq. furlong => 1/10 of(220yards x 220 yards)

Answer 2

Be careful! An acre is not a measure of length, but a measure of AREA! So it does not make sense to ask "how many feet are in an acre". Acres are measured in SQUARE feet (or yards or miles), because you are multiplying a length by a width of something.

That being said, 1 acre = 43560 square feet
and in square yards, 1 acre = 4840 square yards

An acre generally isn't converted to square miles, because an acre is much less than a square mile. However, you can convert square miles to acres using this equation:

1 square mile = 640 acres

Good question, but watch the units!!

Answer 3

An acre is a measure of land area in Imperial units or U.S. customary units. It is equal to 43 560 square feet, 4840 square yards, or 160 square rods. The precise meaning of this depends on the exact definition adopted for a foot: the international acre is 4 046.856 422 4 m² (for the UK, see). For measurements based specifically on the US survey foot the US survey acre is ca. 4 046.872 610 m².

1 acre = 4 046.85642 m2
1 mile = 1.609344 kilometers
1 yard = 0.9144 meters
1 Feet = 30.48 cm

Answer 4

Yes, an acre is 43,560 square feet. This measure goes back to the days of measuring in chains (66 feet) and either links (1/100 of a chain or 0.66 feet) or rods (1/4 chain or 16.5 feet or 5 1/2 yards). Rods are also called poles or perches.

One square chain equals 4,356 square feet or 1/10 of an acre. One acre is then 10 square chains or 4,840 square yards. One square mile contains 640 acres.

Answer 5

An acre is 43,560 square feet. If this were a perfectly square area it would measure about 209 feet on each side.

Answer 6

1 acre = 0.0015625 sq miles
4840 sq yards
43560.00000000001 sq feet

Answer 7

There are 640 acres in a square mile.

(5280 ft.)(5280 ft.) / (640 acres per mi.²)
= 43560 ft.² per acre.

This is also 4840 yd.² per acre.
