How deep is a 113 acre lot that is a perfect square?

That's wrong. If one square acre is 208.7 on side, that's half of a 10th
of a mile since one tenth is 528 feet. So 113 acres should be 23,583.1
on a side or 44 tenths? that 4 miles, I don't think so. Is it?

I've no clue how you're trying to do arithmetic but it ain't comin' close.

Couple of ways...

Sq rt(43560 * 113) = 2218.6... ft

2640 (1/2-mi) * sq rt(113/160) = 2218.6... ft

2218.6/2640 ~0.84 so is, as noted early, short of the half-mile.

First from area (ft-sq)/A; second from previous ratio of sq-rts of
acreage compared to known side distance.

Fundamentally, A = L x W if L = W then A = L^2 -- L = sqrt(A)
