Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
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 pageThank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

205 x 85 x 310 x 145 feet? How much acreage is that. .81?

Unlike a triangle, a quadrilateral is not fixed by knowing it's four sides, it can flex at the corners. You have to know at least one angle or one diagonal to "fix" into two rigid triangles. Some formulas here:

Once you have the area in square feet, the acres are easy.

As mentioned above, without at least one angle or one diagonal, there is not a unique solution. If these lengths are from a deed, there should also be compass bearings (angles) associated with each line. With those, the problem could be solved.
