    Unless you are going along the entire perimeter of the 88 acres, you need to get rid of three more variables to find the answer. 1) How long is the field? 2) Are you going back and forth or are you cutting a swath on both ends every round too. 3) How much overlap?
    .
    80 acres is 3,484,800 sq ft.
    .
    If it was square, it would be a little more than 1850' x 1850'. (3,422,500')
    .
    If you just went back and forth with no overlap, you would have mowed 906,500'.
    .
    That would leave you about 59 acres. Of course if you were going in a complete round taking off the ends and the sides, you would have less left. In the case of the latter, the formula would be to complex for my simple mind. If you don't get the answer, you might try posting in the math section, if there is one.
