Understanding dimension of site

[Chandu]

Dear All,
Require help on understanding the dimension of site.

If document (possession certificate) of the site give the following dimension
East to west (40+42)/2 ft
North to south 40 ft
Total 1640 sqft

how can I visualize the dimension
I am assuming it to be
Noth-east corner to south east corner = 40 ft
North-east corner to north-west corner =40 ft
South-east corner to south west corner = 40 ft
South-west corner to north-west corner = 42 ft

Is this right ?
issue here is I don't have layout plan , need to run from pillar to post if I want to get from BBMP.

i've made a small jpeg image to simplify your need. Refer the Lower Side and upper side of the image attached.

East to west one side you get 40 ft and on the opposite side of the same direction you get 42 ft.
Hence on one side, you do not get straight line border. It will be a slanted line border.

Hence the average of 40+42/2 becomes = 41 ft. So the Total dimension is calculated as 40X41 = 1640 ft.


Hope it gives you the required info .

Thanks msn1270 for your patience to draw-up for me.
how can we come to conclusion that north side is 42 and south side is 40 , can't that be vice-vers ? - just a thought - as I am new to this.

Chandu,

I've given only the representative idea. As u assume, it could be vice versa also.
physically you need to measure the dimension of the plot to know the actual.

Thanks for that pointer - I think I can figure out that by actually measuring the site.

chandu, if the physical boundaries of the site is not clear, you will not be able to tell which side is the longer side. What you can do is measure the 2 adjacent sites (back to back sites) from one road to another and then figure it out. The uneven site is sometimes the result of 2 roads not being 100% parallel.
