    If you walked around a 15 acre field, how far will you have travelled?

    Question #92818. Asked by markswood. (Feb 25 08 4:48 PM)

    		This question cannot be answered without knowing the dimensions of the field. Is it rectangular, triangular, circular or irregular?
    As this link explains
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acre
    an acre is a unit of area that is not dependent on any particular shape.

    		That all depends on the shape! 15 Acres at 1 foot wide by 653400 (123.75 miles) feet long is a bit more than a square lot at 15 acres.

    1 Acre = 43560 Square Feet.

    A square of 15 Acres has a perimeter of 3236 feet. 809' x 4 (approximately)

    		You'll go the shortest distance if the field is circular, but circular fields are not all that common. (What do you do with the bits left over?)

    		Actually. Circular fields are QUITE common. Hugely popular in the US of A.
