A section of land is one square mile. A mile is 5,280. Multiply 5,280 by 5,280 and you will have the number of square feet in a section of land.
One acre of land is an area of land which measures out to 43,560 square feet. It can be in any geometrical shape, but if it were square, it would measure about 208.71 feet on each side.
In terms of square footage, 15 acres of land = 653,400 square feet.
Do you mean a real square with the side length of 20 feet? Then 20 feet times 20 feet is 400 square feet.
About 500 million acres of this forested land is classified as timberland, or land capable of growing 20 cubic feet of wood per acre per year.
Although the ejido system gave land to many poor villagers, it did not lift them out of poverty. Farmers could not use the land as security for a bank loan because they did not really own their land- the ejido did.
The answer depends on the section of land.
5280 feet
It depends on the section of land and the unit of measure, a Section is 640 Acres, but an acre measures area, not distance. However, if the section is perfectly square, the distance across would be exactly 5,280 feet, or one mile.
5280 feet in a land mile
1 Rod = 16.5 feet 1 Section = 1 mile long, by 1 mile wide 1 Section = 640 acres An Acre is 8 rods wide by 20 rods long
43,560 feet
5,280 feet
A section is a square mile so 5280 feet so 5280 squared equals 27,878,400
2,700 feet
653,400 square feet.
