200 by 200 = 40,000
And 206.3 by 1206.3 = 43,560

Sorry, but doing that gives me a headache. Just by looking at the bottom
line, 40X 1206 is 48,000something, more than an acre. And 40 is one fifth
of 206 give or take. So, that answer is off by a factor of five or
thereabouts.
....

I presumed the 1206 was a typo and intended as another 206.3 given the
pattern above. Still, sqrt(43560) = 208.71..., though, not 206-something...

It's the result of multiple typos. 206.3 = sqrt(42560).

Why are you getting the square root of an acre? There is no way you can
line up the 113 squares to make another square where you can measure one
side. You need to take the whole area, then get the square root.

Confused or just number/math challenged? Either way you are confusing me.

If you had a lot 21780' deep that was an acre it wouldn't be a square, it
would be 2' wide. Good for a strip mall

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

I agree. You're confused.

If a perfect square, one dimension is the square root of the square
footage.

On the OTHER hand, the value of a bridge is calculated based on it's
length, age, and location. I, personally, hold title and can offer a
GREAT deal on an historic old bridge in New York City. Lemme' know if
you're interested.

Check in with your MLS. I sold that property already. And I have a good
faith deposit from another buyer as well.

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

Can you put this in hectares and metres?
