What is the length and width of a square 40 acre parcel

First of all, if it’s square, then the length and width are equal.
As a rule, you can’t tell the dimensions from the area. But since you’ve specified that the
parcel is square, that makes all the difference. There’s only one square with that area.
1 acre = 43,560 square feet
40 acres = (40 x 43,560) = 1,742,400 square feet
The square is 1,320-ft = 1/4 mile on each side.
==============================
An easier solution:
1 square mile = 640 acres
40 acres = 40/640 = 1/16th square mile
sqrt(1/16th) = 1/4 mile
