That doesn't make sense to me.....8,610 sq. ft. X 344 sq.sq.ft.?? Should it be 8,610 ft. X 344 ft...thus making... ummm...a lot of square feet? Can anybody enlighten?

The question does not make any sense as the units you are quoting are not lengths but units of area,

 

suppose you mean 2 ngan plus 8 square wah, 2 ngan + 8 wah = 8,954 sq.ft

Yes, as J-Rex shows, it's not "by". Ngan and talang-wah are both area measures. 1 ngan is 100 square wah.

 

Basically, 2 ngan is a decent sized urban lot - a modest house and yard, say - while 8 talang wah is a little less than tiny. In British and (roughly) US measure, 1 ngan is a tenth of an acre, while 8 talang wah is 38 square yards, a comfortably-sized bedroom or a fairly cramped studio-type apartment.

so is 32 square meters 105 feet and 800 square meters 2,625 feet i was thinking it was 105 feet wide and 2,625 from front to back of land

No.

 

Do you not know the difference between area and linear?

 

This is a line, linear: ------------------------- It is 6 inches or 12 feet or 42 metres or 7.89 centimetres or whatever you want.

 

 

Above is an area. It is 227 SQUARE inches or 472 SQUARE kilometres or 27 TALANG wah or 82 SQUARE feet.

The square looks to me to be more like 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch or 1/4 square inches.

[Gary 4,118]

That is a typical sized village lot. Land here is measured by rai. One rai is 1,600 square meters. Four ngan equals one rai. So that lot is a little over a half rai.

 

1 Talang Wah = 4 Sqm

1 Ngan = 400 Sqm

1 Rai = 1,600 Sqm

Jeez. The OP doesn't know his linear from his elbow and now scale has you confused.

 

Not to mention: You think it was square? Here. Open daily until 9pm.

You seem to have some bad information that you are working from, and trying to make it fit into the real world. The problem is you are trying to use "Wah" and "ngan" as a length and width measurement. However in both cases, there is a length and width measurement taken to get one wah, or one ngan. Wah, or ngan can not be used as length and width measurements to get sq foot, or sq. meter measurements. The measurements you were giver are either wrong or, there is a plot of land that is 2 ngan, and possibly an access road that is 8wah. or say 8 foot wide and 43 foot long, it could just as easily be 10 foot wide, and 34 foot long. What you need to find out, and it should be on the land documents, is the length and width of the property. Take the length X width = area.

thanks.on the title deed it says--this plot has an approximate area--rai,2 ngan 08 square wah (two ngan eight square wah.

I would take that to mean 8,945 sq. foot

[Gary 4,118]

The area appears to be correct but you still need to look at the chanote to find the linear measurements. Normally two ngan is 20 by 40 meters. The sketch on the chanote will appear as a rectangle twice as long as it is wide.

Maybe it is a polyhedron.

Aren't they extinct?

Quite a few still to be found on Walking Street. Mainly nocturnal nowadays.
