The length of one side of the square lot is the square root of the area, 1 acre * 209 ft/acre = <<1*209=209>>209 feet
The length of the diagonal fence is 209 feet * sqrt(2) = <<209*sqrt(2)=295.98489827516287>>295.98 feet rounded to the nearest foot. Answer: \boxed{296}.
Jamila keeps alpacas on a 1-acre, square lot near her home. She has 6 alpacas and wants to build a fence diagonally to split the herd in two. If an acre is 209 feet long, how many feet, to the nearest foot, of fencing does Jamila need?
