Computation of DMD (Refer to rules for computing DMD)

DAB= 22.867
DBC= 22.867+22.867+304.577 = 350.311
DCD= 350.311+304.577+394 = 1,048.888
DDE= 1,048.888+394+107.908 = 1,550.796
DEF= 1,550.796+107.908-557.311 = 1,101.393
DFA= 1,101.393-557.311-272.041 = 272.041

Computation of Double Areas (DOUBLE AREA = DMD X ADJ. LATITUDE)

DAB= 22.867x 245.95 = 5, 624.139


DBC= 350.311 x 293.837 = 102, 934.333
DCD= 1048.888 x -164.202 = -172, 229. 507
DDE= 1550.796 x -500.213 = -775, 728.320
DEF= 1101.393 x -62.857 = -69, 230. 260
DFA= 272.041 x 187.485 = 51,003.607
∑NDA = 159, 562. 079
∑SDA = -1,017,188.087

∑DA = -857,626.008

THEREFORE:

2A = -857,626.008 m2
2A −857,626.008
= m2
2 2

A = -428,813.004 m2
A = -42.881 hectare
A = 42.881 hectare
