You also may have to measure acres or feet if you are planning a landscaping or building project. An acre is equal to 43,560 square feet. There are multiple combinations of measurements in feet that will equal the product of 43,560.

    Measure a distance of 208.71 feet. This is the equivalent of 208 feet and 8.52 inches. Mark the starting and ending points for this measurement.

    Measure the same distance running perpendicular to your starting point from the previous step.
