To find the acreage of a rectangular piece of property, multiply its length by its width to get the area in square feet, then divide by 43,560 (the number of square feet in an acre). For this property, $800 \, \text{ft} \times 1,290 \, \text{ft} = 1,032,000 \, \text{sq ft}$. Dividing by 43,560 gives approximately 23.7 acres.
