Polygon Questions (New to ArcGIS Pro)

AgEngineer92

Software: ArcGIS Pro 3.3.2

Hello there, so I am going to try to be detailed about my two major questions I have, and hope these aren't so simplistic that I am wasting anyone's time. I am very new to ArcGIS Pro, and my professor suggested that this forum is an amazing resource for specific questions. I have attached a photo of an example of what I am referring to. Questions are as follows: 

1. I have mapped out all of my locations I need to, but I need to create polygons around the specific locations, with their size being determined by a preset number of acres. What would be the best path to complete this task? I am able to make polygons by creating them, but I am unsure how best to make the acreage data associate (I do have an ID for the locations, and an ID set for the acreage already) with my locations. I believe this would be done through join, but have failed to make it work through the last several attempts. 

2. Once I have associated the acreage to the locations, what would be the best method to make the acreage into a polygon that surrounds the location and expands/shrinks based upon inputted acreage? 

Thanks so much for any and all of your help/guidance/advice, I really appreciate it. Have a great day.

So there is the Business Analyst extension to ArcGIS Pro that has a geoprocessing tool (GP tool) called Generate Grids and Hexagons that can create a square, hexagon, or H3 Hexagon that can create polygons of a certain area (i.e. acres for example).  Run the GP tool to create the polygons.  Then it's just a matter of selecting the polygons and moving them over your points layer and deleting the polygons you don't need.  I'm sure there's other ways of doing this.
