Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page
Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

Tom:
You mean feet, right?
An acre is a unit of area, linear feet (feet) is a unit of length. You don’t have linear feet in an acre, you have square feet.
However, length (feet, meters, yards, etc.) is used to measure the sides and/or perimeter of an area but just because square is in “square feet”, doesn’t mean the area is actually square. It could be round, rectangular, trapezoidal . . . any two dimensional shape.
IF, (repeat IF), the 1 acre you’re asking about is a perfect square, you can calculate the sides . . . it’s the square root of the area. 1 acre is 43, 560 square feet. The square root of 43,560 is 208.71 linear feet (linear feet can be expressed simply as “feet”). As all four sides are equal in a square, multiply by 4 to obtain the perimeter: 834.84 feet.
Although feet (or other linear length unit) are used to calculate the square feet, the area is NOT comprised of linear feet.
