Area of i acre = 43,560 square feet.
Its perimeter would depend upon the shape of the one acre, which contains 43,560 square feet.

If it is a perfect circle, an acre has a radius of (sqrt 43560 / 3.1415) 117 feet 9 inches.
If it is square, then each side has a length of (sqrt 43560) 208 feet 8.5 inches.
If the acre is square, then each side would be 208' 8.5"
So the perimeter would be 834.8 feet.
