On a 1 acre lot the Length is twice the Width

How do I find the length and width (in feet)

1 acre = 43,560 square feet

Thank you

2w * w = 43560
solve for w

On a 1 acre lot the Length is twice the Width?
How do I find the length and width (in feet)

1 acre = 43,560 square feetP = 2(L+W)

A = L x W; if L = 2W, then A = 2W x W = 2W^2

if 2W^2 = 43560, then W^2 = 21780

sqrt(21780) = W = 147.58 ft, and L = 295.16 ft.

L x W = 43559.71 sq ft (difference due to rounding error)

1 acre = 43,560 square feet so for example:

100 feet long by 435.6 feet wide would equal one acre

Length x Width = Square Feet

Square Feet / 43560 = acres


208.71ft by 208.71ft is equal to one acre
