A: Acres are measured in square feet, and there are 43,560 square feet in 1 acre. If the acre of land is perfectly square, each side will be just under 209 feet long. To calculate square footage in order to determine if a square piece of land is 1 or more acres, measure two sides and multiply the numbers together.
One acre equals 0.0015625 square miles, 4,840 square yards, 43,560 square feet or about 4,047 square metres (0.4047 hectares) (see below). While all modern variants of the acre contain 4,840 square yards, there are alternative definitions of a yard, so the exact size of an acre depends on which yard it is based.
