If you have bought a piece of land and want to know how to measure plot area then I can help you out. After being around many builders and developers I have started to gather knowledge about their methodology to do the calculation. There is math and a few formulas involved in the process so try to stick around. Here is how to calculate plot area in square feet.

How to measure a plot of land?

So there are many shapes in which you will find a plot. I can share the method to calculate the area below:

For a square plot area is (length)

Example: Assume the length of the plot is 50 feet then the area will 

Area of a square plot = (50)

2

Area of a square plot = 2500 feet

For a rectangular plot area is calculated as length x breadth

Example: Assume the length of your plot is 50 feet and breadth is 30 feet then the area will be:

Area of rectangular plot = Length x Breadth

Area of rectangular plot = 50 x 30

Area of rectangular plot = 1500 feet

For a triangular plot area is calculated as √(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c))

s indicates half the perimeter of the triangle, and a, b,c are sides

Example: Assume a plot has three sides measuring the length of 16m, 26m and 20m respectively. Here is how you will calculate the area of a triangular plot.

Area of triangular plot = √(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c))

S = (a+b+c)/2

S = (16+26+20)/2

s= 31

Area of triangular plot = √(31(31-16)(31-26)(31-20))

= √(31(15)(5)(11))

= √25575

= 159.9 m

2

 

= 1721.14 feet

Area of irregular polygon plot

If your plot has an irregular polygon shape then draw a map and divide the area in legible shapes then calculate the area of each polygon. Once you have all the values, just add them up to get total plot area.

I hope now we are clear about

how to measure plot area.
