Calculating the area of a plot of land is essential for estimating the correct footage for purchasing construction materials, designing or documenting. However, not all plots of land or lots have four equal sides, which can make it difficult to calculate the actual area. In this video, I show you a way to calculate the area of a plot of land without having to use angles. 📌 MINICOURSE TRACE THE DRAW - Learn how to calculate the concrete mix at a time with a step-by-step guide http://estruturasebim.com/comece-por-... ⌨️ Material Calculator Spreadsheet for the work https://bit.ly/PlanilhaCalculodeMater... 👉 Visit our website and guarantee your materials https://estruturasebim.com ⭕ EQUIPMENT AND BOOK: 💻Notebook that I use to design WITHOUT FREEZING: https://amzn.to/3zuIkEH ⌨️ Calculator model that I use to calculate: https://amzn.to/3oqi0oP 👉 📚Book Calculation and Detailing of Usual Reinforced Concrete Structures: https://amzn.to/3jfyFbX Hello, how are you? Calculating a lot can be a difficult task when we do not have the exact measurements or the notion of how to correctly calculate the area of the land. The geometry of the land must be taken into account, and it is recommended to follow the topography of the land. To take the measurements of the land, it is necessary to be careful when measuring each side of the land, since it is wrong to measure by following the undulations of the lot. It is recommended to use a level hose to take the measurements, these measurements should be far from the ground to avoid the risk of having false measurements. To calculate the area of a lot or land with 4 different sides, the diagonal measurement must be taken. Without the diagonal measurement, it is not possible to calculate the area of the land, since Heron's formula requires this dimension. Heron's formula has two steps, the calculation of the semi-perimeter and then the area. However, the land must be divided into two figures, transforming it into two triangles. The calculation is individual for each figure, once we have discovered the area of one triangle, we move on to calculating the area of the second triangle. With the two areas calculated, the areas must be added together. Happy studying. A BIG HUG! Eng° Pedro Rodrigues
