We don't farm in the woods much...not that there are any "woods" here, anyway.

No, it's not. 2218.62 feet is 0.420193 miles.

Which explains how you got the wrong answer: you started with the wrong numbers.

So what? It's not 0.03 miles off, it's 0.02.

Square roots are something you plant in a garden.

Did you ever get past the 6th grade is school???

SQUARE ROOT OF (113 X 43560) = 2218.621193 feet. If you want that in feet and inches, 2218 feet 7.454316 inches.

Think of it this way;

10 feet by 10 feet =3D 100 square feet. OK. 20 by 20 =3D 400 sq. feet 30 by 30 =3D 900 50 by 50 =3D 2500 100 by 100 =3D 10,000 200 by 200 =3D40,000 And 206.3 by 1206.3 =3D 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 =3D 43,560.

Next: And 113 acres is 43,560 x 113 =3D 4,922,280 (four million, nine hundred thousand etc. etc.) and if square each side would be 2,218.6 feet. You can get some idea if that is correct by calculating 2000 feet by

2000 feet which would be would be 4,000,000 (four million) square feet.

Pssssssssst.

reply:

With high school (maybe even middle school math) and a calculator, you can arrive at a much more accurate answer. I am going to dig out my Pickart slide rule and see how close I can come with that. Leather case and all.

Did Andrew Jackson? The first and only POTUS to balance the national debt. He made it onto the $20 bill. Drunken native Americans prefer $10 dollar bills for change.

[Doug Miller]

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

[Doug Miller]

No it doesn't.

[trader4]

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.

[dadiOH]

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 :)

You need lower satellites, Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco.

[Steve B]

Brain fart. Pickett. But still come to the same approximate answer.

Steve

[Steve B]

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.

Where did you go to school? Or didn't?

Steve

[Steve B]

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