There are 43,560 square feet in an acre.
L x W= area
3000 ft. x 2900 ft. = 8,700,000 sq. ft./43,560 =199.7 acres
This can be used to find the area, thus the acreage on any piece of property that is square or rectangle.
Other formulas are used to find area for a triangle, circle, or something four sided, with different lengths of the sides.
I would say this is the most accurate for calculating the acreage, if the l and w are correct. The others were you lay out the lines will get you close, but not accurate, imo.
