HOW TO MEASURE 1 ACRE OF LAND?

An acre is equal to 43,560 square feet (208.71)2. An acre constitutes of eight plots of 50×100 feet, and an acre is equal to 100 decimals. If you divide 100 decimals by 8 (plots), the result is 12.5 decimals which is the area size of 50×100 feet plot. So a 50×100 feet plot is 1/8 (one eighth) of an acre.

PROCEDURES OF MEASURING:

Measure a distance of 208.71 feet. This is the equivalent of 208 feet and 8.52 inches. Mark the starting and ending points for this measurement.

Measure the same distance (208.71 feet) running perpendicular to your starting point from the previous step.

Perform the same measurement twice more to form a square. Each side of a square should be equal to the square root of 43,560 feet (208.71 feet), which is equal to an acre.
