Finally, the sheriff came and escorted the workers to the intended location, 10 acres away, she said.

How far is 10 acres? How many gallons is that?

You expect reporters to be bright enough to understand the difference between complex geometrical concepts like distance and area? How silly of you!!

It’s three stories, five football fields, and and Olympic-size swimming pool. Don’t you know anything?

Acres are a measure of area not distance so it depends upon the shape of the plot of land. A square containing 40 acres is 1/4 mile (1320 feet or 440 yards) on a side. Forty acres therefore contains 13202 square feet so a ten acre square is (13202/4).5 or 660 feet if you walked down the edge of the square, 933.38 feet if you walked the diagonal, corner to corner.
