Case by case. You need to compute the area for each and then decide. The terms do not imply anything about which is larger.
You need to measure the specific sides of the plot and then compute the area. You can break down the total plot into smaller subsections which are regular and easier for you to compute the area. First, place the largest rectangle you can within the boundaries of the irregular lot. Then, fill in the remaining areas outside the rectangle with smaller rectangles, triangles and cirlces -- whatever fits best. Keep going using smaller and smaller shapes for the remaing areas until you've covered most of it. Then, calculate the area of each shape: Rectangle = Width x Height Triangle = W x H / 2 Circle = 3.1416 x radius x radius Add up the areas of all the shapes for the total area of the irregular lot.
Knowing the lengths of the four sides of a quadrangular plot does not define a unique shape and so, the area can vary greatly.
50 square metres.
If a square lot of equal sides length, the total would be 10,890 square feet.
Because it takes a lot more than just "2 long sides and 2 short sides" to make a rectangle. -- The 2 long sides have to be equal. -- They have to be opposite each other, not next to each other. -- The 2 short sides have to be equal. -- They have to be opposite each other, not next to each other. -- At least one of the angles where two sides come together has to be 90 degrees.
The shape is called a "kite" - which fits well with the shape of a lot of the kites flown for fun.
The area of a parallelogram is equal to base times height. You can find the maximum area of a parallelogram by multiplying the length of a short side by the length of a long side. (This would be the area if the parallelogram were a rectangle.)You cannot know the area of a parallelogram if all you know is the length of the sides; you can only know the maximumpossible area. Imagine you slant the parallelogram a lot. The area will decrease, but the side lengths will stay the same.
This is an awkward one, it involves dividing 300 by 6...
A circle has an infinite number of sides.
A 40' by 40' lot will have an area found by multiplying the lengths of two sides, or squaring the length of a side. That's 40 x 40 or 402 which equals 1600 square feet.
Unfortunately, this is area where ambiguity in the language leads to a lot of confusion. 6 feet square usually refers to the area of a square whose sides are 6 feet each. The area is, therefore, 36 sq feet.
