WE CAN NORMALLY GIVE YOU AN ACCURATE ACREAGE ESTIMATION WITHIN MINUTES OF OUR ARRIVAL! (UPON REQUEST) ...or here is an easy alternative.
Here is a very general guide to help you figure out how many acres you actually have. Please keep in mind that this is meant solely as a rough estimation, and when you are dealing with any angles or irregular polygons- you must figure with additional formulas. If you would like any more help figuring out your acreage, feel free to visit the "Ask us NOW" section, and give as much detail as possible as far as dimensions, and I will do my best to help you. (sketches are helpful as well when dealing with multiple angles)
AN ACRE OF LAND IS EQUAL TO 43,560 SQ FT
WHEN DEALING WITH COMMON RECTANGLE OR SQUARE SHAPED LOTS, SIMPLY FIGURE THE SQUARE FOOTAGE
(LENGTH x WIDTH IN FEET)
THEN DIVIDE YOUR TOTAL BY 43,560 = ACREAGE
EXAMPLE: 495 feet x 495 feet = 245025 square feet
245025 square foot / 43560 = 5.625 acres
