Last night I figured out my mistake: I was getting confused by the idea of real feet. Nine feet is equal to 216 mini-feet, which is right on target!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17881569638070473720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136740486931469620.post-25314623108948978782011-10-25T10:11:27.536-04:002011-10-25T10:11:27.536-04:00Actually....

If I had to guess.....I wonder if the 36 foot long string if laid in a circle would give you an exact mini-acre.......which should actually have a square footage of 1742? A circle gives the greatest amount of land, so if a 9 foot on each side square is less than the 1/24th maybe a circle gives that much more square footage?<br /> Have to see if I can dig up my middle school math brains. Also found this site that is great for doing conversions!<br />http://convert-to.com/133/area-units.html#more-133Sashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01752429830081821218noreply@blogger.com
