The furlong, although it was the length of a plow furrow in a 10-acre field, not just one acre. At the time, fields were typically 10 acres in fairly uniform blocks. The furlong has since been standardized at a length of 660 feet, or 1/8 of a mile.

The question really doesn't make sense because an acre is a measurement of area and a kilometer is a measurement of length/distance.Well i think he meant Km2 (square), not the length. One acre is equal to 4080m2 and One Km square is 1000m2, the rest is easy.

How many feet are an acre and please not in square feet?
Its about 209.71 by 209.71 feet but there's a lot more decimals. use the square root button on the standard calculator on calculator.com for the exact answer. also a very useful website!!! :)An acre is a measure of area which contains 43560 square feet. Thus as long as the sides of the rectangle multiplied together come to this, it will be an acre; thus, for example, rectangle with sides:1 ft x 43560 ft2 ft x 21780 ft4 ft x 10890 ft8 ft x 5445 ft40 ft x 1089 ft66 ft x 660 ftare all rectangles with an area of one acre and so could be the feet by feet of an acre. However:The last example above is [probably] the origin of the size of an acre as it is 1 chain (22 yds or 66 ft) wide by 1 furlong (220 yds or 660 ft) long. This would represent the size of field that could be ploughed in one day - the furlong being "furrow length" (that is the length of furrow) that could be ploughed in one go before resting the oxen; before commencing the next furrow, completing a chain's width of these furrows in one day.
