How do you figure square yards to apply lime?
How you figure the square yards really depends on the shape of the plot. I'll tell you how to do it for a rectangle. If you have a different shape, then you can get the arithmetic from the lawn and garden or hardware store. -- Measure the length, in feet. -- Measure the width, in feet. -- Multiply the two numbers. -- That gives you the number of square feet. -- For square yards, divide the number by 9 .
What is the average square feet of a lawn?
28 feet long and wide
How do you figure out square feet?
Measure both sides of the area in feet and multiply . The answer is square feet.
How many linear feet to surround 1500 square feet of lawn?
Unfortunately, "It Depends" - - To determine square footage, you have to know whether the lawn is square, rectangular, circular, or some other shape. Assuming a rectangle (or square), the square footage is determined by multiplying the length by the width. Linear footage is determined by adding 2 times the length plus 2 times the width. If the lawn is a square, there is only one answer (as there is only one solution which will give 1500 square feet: length and width of 38.73-some odd decimal, meaning 2 times length and 2 times width gives a linear footage of some 154.92 feet). However, if the lawn is rectangular, there are an infinite number of answers. Giving three examples to show the range: 1) If the lawn is 50 feet long by 30 feet wide, that will give (50x30), or 1500 square feet of area and ([50x2]+[30x2]), or 160 linear feet. 2) If the lawn is 100 feet long by 15 feet wide, that will give (100x15), or 1500 square feet of area and ([100x2]+[15x2]), or 230 linear feet. 3) If the lawn is an alleyway in the middle of a big city and 1500 feet long by 1 foot wide, that will still give the required (1500x1), or 1500 square feet of area...but a whopping ([1500x2]+[1x2]), or 3002 linear feet around! (Note that the square gives the least linear footage possible for a rectangular-shaped lawn) Have fun figuring out circular, elliptoid, and other funny shaped lawns...
HOW TO FIGURE SQUaRE FEET OF CLOSET?
Multiply the width by the length. If the closet is 3 feet by six feet, you have 18 square feet.
