That would be a great question to ask in Alt.math newsgroup...they are very

Hardly. It's square root of that or 208.7... ft.

W/O doing the arithmetic, 160 A is a quarter section or 1/2 mi sq. for a
rough idea.

Ratio square roots of areas for distances...

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?

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.

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)

Sigh. This is a simple problem. Ignoring all the miles and other
nonsense, what we have is a lot that is square and 113 acres. The
answer is sqrt(113 X 43560) or 2219 feet is the length of each side.

20 by 20 = 400 sq. feet
30 by 30 = 900
50 by 50 = 2500

And 206.3 by 1206.3 = 43,560

BTW if depth dimension of a one acre lot is 21,780 then the width
would be 2.0 (two) feet.
Because 21,780 x 2 = 43,560.

How exactly does one "balance" the national debt? You can balance
the annual federal budget, which means you take in as much as you
spend. Or you can eliminate the national debt by paying it all
off. If it's the former you're talking about, a lot more presidents
than Jackson did that.

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

Sorry, but doing that gives me a headache. Just by looking at the bottom

Well, I see you finally got the right answer. You're a bit late to the
party,
though.

Well, I'm never in doubt, but often wrong.

Ok, one acre is 43560 square feet so , if a perfect square, one

that should be about 2/10ths of a mile deep?


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

Think of it this way;

10 feet by 10 feet = 100 square feet. OK.
20 by 20 = 400 sq. feet
30 by 30 = 900
50 by 50 = 2500
100 by 100 = 10,000
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...
