feet = 12 inches
yard = 3 feet = 36 inches.
• Those are measurements of ☞distance.☜
• Acre is a measurement of ☞area,☜ not distance.
=======================
Example:
How wide is your room?
10 feet.
That is a ☞distance.☜
Example:
How big is your room?
12 feet by 10 feet. That is an ☞area,☜ not a distance.
or
12 feet × 10 feet
or 120 square feet = 120 feet²
That is an ☞area.☜
===========================
✓ An acre = 66 feet × 660 feet (43,560 square feet) = 4840 square yards
===========================
The End.

There are 640 acres in a square mile.
That makes an acre 4,840 sq yards
or 43,560 square feet.
An acre doesn't work out as a square.
It's about 69.57 yards on each side or about 208 feet 8.5 inches.
An acre is 0.10 square furlong - that is a rectangle 1 furlong by 1/10 furlong.
It's taking the square root of 10 that keeps things from working out neatly.
