So im guessing a square acre is 295.06 wide by 295.06 long?

Im also guessing a square acre is different from an acre.

now that the size is down, around here, an acre of tillable land can be upwards of 4k an acre. Mine is worth about 2k an acre. Land prices here have doubled and some tripled since 2001.

Only in shape. One is square and the other can be in any shape as long as its 43560 sq ft.




Thats what i was wondering also. Does an acre have to be a square and apparently it doesnt as long as you have 43,560 ft.

Thanks jack for the dimemsions of the acre.

Thaks Koty for that answer..
