Sides C & D are mostly wetland and I'm desperetly trying to figure how much of this land is woods. In acreage. There are 10 acres to this lot and the ACTUAL size of the property WITH the wetland is as follows:
Side A=454.45'
side B=305.63'
side C=1016.92'
side D=945.55'
Above: should equal a 10acre lot (I took the figures off a lot blueprint)
Below: I have figured already approx. how much footage is woods from the entire lot with its combined woods/wetland above.
side A=454'
side B=306'
side C=339'
side D = 473' So....APPROX. HOW MUCH ACREAGE IS WOODS?
How would I convert this to acreage?

Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page
Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

Divide the property parcel into two triangles. Calculate the area for each using Heron's formula and add the two together. Divide the answer by 43,560 to obtain acres.
To determine the length of the diagonal line, you need the angle of at least one property corner (and which corner). Use trig to calculate the diagonal measurement to divide the property into two triangles.
If you don't know one of the angles, on the survey plot are lengths and bearings of each property line. These are the compass directions, usually stated in quadrants, e.g., 640.00' N12º31'22"E. Using these bearings, you can calculate the angle(s).
