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 page

Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

More information is needed. You can't calculate the area of an irregular polygon with side lengths only.

We need one of the following:
1) The distances in order (clockwise or counterclockwise) and at least 1 angle and where that angle is.
2) Distance and bearing (angular direction) of each line, in order. Distance and bearings of each line should be shown on the plat. An example: 174.54', N 12º23'05" E.
3) A diagonal measurement between opposite corners.

Your distances are in 100ths of a foot, which means you probably have a survey plat. A quick call to the surveyor shown on the plat could give you a faster answer.
