    I guess the depth and the width that is referred to by the parcel of land is the height and length of base, respectively. If so, the area would be equal to:

    Area of triangle = 1/2*base*height

    Area of triangle = 1/2*1 mile * 1.5 miles = 0.75 mi²

    Next, we convert this to acres through the conversion: 1 mi² = 640 acres

    Area = 0.75 mi² * 640 acres/1 mi²

    Area = 480 acres
