What does 871200 square feet equal per square on graph paper?

Answer 1

It depends upon the scale chosen.

If you have a scale given on the graph paper, you can find out how much each square represents and then divide that into 871200 to find out how many square it needs.

If you have to choose the scale, then set your scale to something sensible, and then divide the area of each square into 871200 to find out how many squares it needs.

eg if the scale is such that each big square is 220 ft (a furlong) along each side, then as there are 10 little squares along each side of a big square each little square is 220 ft ÷ 10 = 22 ft (a chain) along each side and each little square has an area of 22 ft × 22 ft = 484 sq ft (1/10 acre)

Therefore you will need 871200 sq ft ÷ 484 sq ft/little square = 1800 little squares to represent it.

As each big square has 10 little squares along each side, each big square contains 10 × 10 = 100 little squares. Thus 1800 little squares is 1800 ÷ 100 big squares = 18 big squares.

Answer 2

As much or as little as you want. It all depends on the scale chosen.

Answer 3

It could equal any value that you like - you just need to choose the appropriate scale.
