Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,

Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

Convert Acre to Linear Feet

I need to convert acres to linear ft. I have a chain link fence around 60 acres square.. I need to know what the linear feet of the chain link fence is without measuring it off by foot.

60 acres is 60 acres x 43560 ft^2/acre = 2613600 ft^2.

IF the shape is exactly square, one side is just the square root of this, 1617 feet, and the total perimeter is 4 times that, 6468 feet.
