What is the measurements for 1 acre? How many square feet in an acre?

I am trying to find out the measurements for 1 acre, and/or how many square feet per acre. my wife and I have 6 acres to be divided 3 ways in accordance with her mothers will.


An acre is 43,560 sq. ft. For a square parcel, this works out to 208.71' x 208.71', or 208' 8-1/2" x 208' 8-1/2". Hope this helps.

Saugatuck City planning to annex 173-acre park now in township
