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

area is measure by length times width, which is where you're mistaken
a perfectly square acre is 208.71 feet in length on all four sides.
113 acres perfectally square would be 2,218.62 feet on all sides.
This is about 2/5 of a mile on each side.

A perfect square a mile long on all four sides equals 640 acres.

Or about 4 tenths on the odometer or 1/10th less than half a mile.
Ok, that sounds about right.
