measured and noted with square footage. <br />Odd shapes are often hard to measure accurately. A series of methods of measuring odd shapes <br />have been reviewed and below are a listing of acceptable measurement techniques of odd shapes. <br />Alternative measuring techniques must be submitted to MWDOC for review and approval prior <br />to implementation and must be at least as accurate as the techniques listed here. <br />Non -Uniform Rectangular <br />First measure the length of the longest axis of the area (line AB). This is called the length line. <br />Next, divide the length line into equal sections, for example 13 ft. At each of these points, <br />measure the distance across the area in a line perpendicular to the length line at each point <br />(lines C through H). These lines are called offset lines. Finally, average the lengths of all offset <br />lines and multiply the result times line AB (65 ft. in this example). This is most notably different <br />from the Non -Uniform Ellipse method in that exactly one of the left or right edges is measured, <br />in this case line "C." <br />12 <br />-I <br />
