we know that

A square plot of land of dimensions  1 mile x 1 mile is 640 acres

5,280 ft is equal to 1 mile

so

5,280 *5,280 =27,878,400 [tex]ft^{2}[/tex]-------> is equal to 640 acres

by proportion

[tex]\frac{27,878,400}{640} \frac{ft^{2}}{acres} = \frac{x}{1} \frac{ft^{2}}{acres} \\\\640*x=27,878,400 \\\\x= \frac{27,878,400}{640}\\\\ x=43,560\ ft^{2}[/tex]

Find the edge of the square plot

[tex]=\sqrt{43,560} \\= 208.71\ ft[/tex]

therefore

the answer is

[tex]208.71\ ft[/tex]
