If your lot is 126 feet deep and 105 feet wide*, simply multiply 126 X 105 = a total of 13,230 square feet. Then subtract from this total the square footage of the house footprint, driveway, and any other areas that are not to be amended. The remainder will be the square footage of the area to be improved.
Total lot:

126' X 105' = 13,230 sq. ft
Subtract:

40' X 26' = 12' X 12' = 40' X 12' =
1,040 sq. ft 144 sq. ft 480 sq. ft

*An easy way to measure long distances is with your garden hose provided you know its length.
For instance, if your hose is 60' long and the area being measured is 2? hose lengths long and 2
hose lengths wide, the area is 2.5 X 60' = 150' long by 2 X 60' = 120' wide. To get the square footage, 150' X 120' = 19,200 ft2.
To determine the square footage of some familiar shapes
SQUARE or RECTANGLE Area = Length X Width
Length
= 50'
30'
Width
= 30'
50'
Area
= 50' X 30' = 1,500 square feet
TRIANGLE Area = 0.5 X Base X Height
Base Height Area
= 40' = 80' = 0.5 X 40' X 80' = 1,600 square feet
80' 40'
CIRCLE
Area = r2 = 3.14
r = radius = 20' Area -= 3.14 X (20' X 20') = 1,256 square feet
r = 20'
IRREGULAR SHAPE
Divide area into smaller sections having familiar shapes
(e.g., triangles A & D, Rectangles B & C), then:
Area = Area A + Area B + Area C + Area D
25'
A = 0.5 X (25' X 65') = 1,625 square feet B = 15' X 25' = 375 square feet C = 50' X 30' = 1,500 square feet D = 0.5 X (10' X 40') = 200 square feet
A 65'
Area = 1,625 ft2 + 375 ft2 + 1,500 ft2 + 200 ft2 = 3,700 square feet
25' 15' B
C 50'
40' D
