1 acre is equal to

• A. 209 ft x 209 ft; 209 ft square; 43,560 square ft
• B. 210 ft x 210 ft; 44,000 square ft
• C. 200 ft x 200 ft; 40,000 square ft
• D. 208 ft x 208 ft; 43,000 square ft

Answer: (A)

Understanding how acres translate to square feet is the key. One acre equals 43,560 square feet. If you think of land as a square, the side length s satisfies s^2 = 43,560, so s = √43,560 ≈ 208.71 feet. That means a square about 208.7 ft on each side has exactly one acre. So the option that lists 43,560 square feet matches the exact area of an acre, with 209 ft by 209 ft being a close practical approximation for a roughly square shape. Other options give areas like 40,000, 44,000, or 43,000 square feet and don’t equal one acre.
