Title: Re: ? for surveyors Post by: Hawkins on August 22, 2012, 12:00:56 pm 32 acres?
Title: Re: ? for surveyors Post by: jdt on August 22, 2012, 12:03:34 pm i would have guessed it right around there , how did you come up with that?
Title: Re: ? for surveyors Post by: Hawkins on August 22, 2012, 12:05:24 pm It would be 528 feet x 2640 feet = 1,393,920 sq feet. There is 43,560 sq foot in an acre. So 1393920 divided by 43560 = 32
Title: Re: ? for surveyors Post by: Hawkins on August 22, 2012, 12:06:28 pm 5280 feet in a mile .1 mile is the 528 feet and the .5 mile is 2640 feet.

Title: Re: ? for surveyors Post by: PLP on August 22, 2012, 02:42:48 pm Ok it's only a rectangle if it has right angles. I'd bet it's a parallelogram. popo

So 1393920 divided by 43560 = 32 x2 I'm no surveyor but I am a tax mapper.
