How big is an acre of land the length and width?
One pretty good approximation is that it is just slightly less than 1 football field, since 1 acre is 4840 square yards and a football field is 100*50 = 5000 square yards. The United States definition of an acre is: 1 US survey acre = 4046.873 square meters Obviously, this can be achieved with various dimensions, but a couple of more common ones are: — 66 feet by 660 feet (1 “chain” by 1 “furlong”) — 208.71 feet by 208.
