Subject: sq. feet of a lot I HAVE A LOT THAT IS 50FT. BY 95.5 FEET HOW MANY SQ.FEET. |
Hi,
My office is 12 feet by 15 feet and the flooring is linoleum tiles that measure 1 foot by 1 foot. Thus there are 12 rows of tiles, each row having 15 tiles and hence 12 
15 = 180 tiles. Each tiles is 1 square foot in area so my office floor has an area of 180 square feet.
The same process works for your lot. It is 50 feet by 95.5 feet so the area is 50 95.5 = 4775 square feet.
