You buy a square lot that is 154 yd on each side. What is its size in acres?

Multiply 154 x 154 to get the number of square yards; then use the calculator above.
Since 1 acre = 4,840 sq. yards, you can set up a proportion with x representing the unknown acres:
1 / 4840 = x / 23,816
Cross multiply.
Sorry -- there's a typo above. The lot is 23,716 square yards.
To calculate the size of the square lot in acres, you need to follow these steps:
1. Determine the area of the square lot in square yards.
2. Convert the area from square yards to square feet.
3. Convert the area from square feet to acres.
Let's calculate it step by step:
1. Determine the area of the square lot in square yards:
The formula to find the area of a square is side length × side length.
Therefore, the area of the square lot can be calculated as 154 yd × 154 yd = 23,716 square yards.
2. Convert the area from square yards to square feet:
Since 1 yard equals 3 feet, 1 square yard equals 3 feet × 3 feet = 9 square feet.
To convert the area from square yards to square feet, multiply the area in square yards by 9:
23,716 square yards × 9 = 213,444 square feet.
3. Convert the area from square feet to acres:
Since 1 acre equals 43,560 square feet, divide the area in square feet by 43,560:
213,444 square feet ÷ 43,560 = 4.89 acres (rounded to two decimal places).
Therefore, the size of the square lot is approximately 4.89 acres.
