The area of a property 2007-07-17
Mary pose la question :
I currently have an opportunity to sell my property to a business and they would like me to send a proposal to them with details. I need to know the square footage of my property and have tried using your formula from similar questions. The dimensions of my property are as follows
front line facing street: 19.908 m
right side : 37.338 m
back line : 29.779 m
left side : 43.983m
The front line and the right side are at right angles to each other. Can you formulate and reply? Thank you Mary
