What size is this lot?
And is there a location on the web where you can plug in lot dimensions to figure acreage?

North = 180ft
South = 210ft
West = 336ft
East = 244 ft

Thanks!

 

 

Hi Jim,

Unfortunately the lengths of four sides does not completely determine the shape of the lot or its area. There is a more complete explanation in the answer Penny gave to a similar question.

To determine the acreage we need to know either the size of one of the angles or the lengths of one of the diagonals.
