Can one of you guys figure this math problem for me? Survey related Thanks

[1930]

In rounded numbers, you want a 150 x 290' plot centered. 90' in from each side and 167' from the front and back will be closer than you could ever see.

Thank you, is that using the the calculated distances or the field? Im thinking Im gonna need the field since Im assuming thats the reality of what I have.

 

[1930]

Field is 623x330

I guess like you said it will be closer than Ill see either way.

Im gonna draw it up for you to see and give the thumbs up that Im understanding, please check back

Thank-you

1930: Your rectangle to clear should be approximately 152 feet long on the front and rear and approximately 287 feet long on each side. I used the field numbers from your plat. Here is how I did the math:

Front of property = 330.92 ft.
Side of property = 623.45 ft.
Ratio of side to front = 623.45/330.92 = 1.89
You want a one acre rectangle that has a short and long side with a ratio of 1.89.
If x = the short side of the rectangle then 1.89x = the long side of the rectangle and the product of x times 1.89x = 43560
Therefore 1.89x^2 = 43560
or x^2 = 43560/1.89 = 23047.619
or x = square root of 23047.619
x = 151.814 (the short side of your rectangle)
1.89x = 286.929 (the long side of your rectangle)

I understand some of you guys know math, I can appreciate that.

Is my drawing correct or am I off?

Please understand I like to do things right and as close as possible but for something like this a foot error isnt gonna bother me too much, 5 feet or greater isnt acceptable though. Id like to know I did a good job marking things out. Thanks

I understand my drawing is square, my property though is rectangular

I think you got this figured out. Don't get heat stroke clearing all that brush!

On my survey I see that they show two measurements for the sides of the property.....one is calculated and the other is field? I cant remember why there are both numbers?

The difference between the "calculated" and "field" numbers (those labels are in the legend) is the 25 feet between the center of the road and the edge of the easement. So one measures to the edge of the easement and the other measures to the center of the road, which I gather is your property line.

Why they are labeled "calculated" and "field" I have no idea.

Thank you, your a smart guy.

I see than now, thanks, again nice that your able to see that when I could not

Ok 168x89 feet is how my drawing reads now.

Using the numbers you gave above I see my small error.

I want one acre rectangular cut out same shape as my property.

Thanks

This is easy. No CAD required. Just a pencil and a ruler.
Draw a line from each corner to the opposite corner (making an "X").
Now divide each of those lines in 5 equal lengths. There are several ways to do this, but you can measure it with your ruler and divide by five.
Now draw a rectangle using the inner most subdivision marks. This will get you almost exactly to one acre. You can get it to the square foot if needed with a calculator.
If you need a sketch, holler.
