I have to meet someone dealing in real estate. Can you help me place imagination for land surface area of 1000 acres = 4,046,842 sq.meters= 4,840,000 sq.yards

I want to visualize this area in terms of open space. The best way to put it is to imagine from a helicopter at a certain given height, H where you can clearly visualize the entire stretch of 1000 acres with your naked eye. I hope you get my drift here.

So, what would be the Height H, in meters or feet.

I presume it's some kind of trigonometric stuff.

  1. Just picture it as a square which is 1 1/4 miles long on each side




  2. Assuming a square shape, your terrain has a side of 2011 metres, and since the human field of vision is of 60º, you would need to be at a height of 1,472 metres, so as you can see the entire field without moving your eyes.

    if the shape is not square, tell me the approximate shape and i'll be happy to do the calculations for you :)
