It depends on the number of sides and the length of each side that compose that one acre, which is 43,560 square feet..

If one acre is a square (two-dimensional figure with four straight sides, whose four interior angles are right angles and whose four sides are of equal length), each side is 208.7103 linear feet (square root of 43,560). The perimeter would be 834.8413 linear feet (208.7103*4).

If one acre was a circle, the circumference (perimeter) would be 739.8588 linear feet.

Another example would be a rectangle that is not a square.

If two parallel sides of the rectangle are 25 LF each, the other two parallel sides would be 1742.4 LF each (43560/25). The perimeter of one acre is now 3534.8 feet ((1742.4*2)+(25*2)).

All three examples would be one acre but the perimeter has changed for each.
