To find the total land area of the given land, we can treat the land as being divided into two triangles: $\triangle ABD$ and $\triangle BDC$. We will calculate the area of each triangle using Heron's formula and then sum these areas to get the total land area.

Step 1: Calculate the area of $\triangle ABD$

1. Side lengths:

   • $AB = 59$ ft
   • $BD = 45.25$ ft
   • $AD = \text{unknown}$ (but we'll calculate using the other triangle)

   Since $AD$ isn't given directly, we'll calculate using the other triangle and sum to find the total area.

Step 2: Calculate the area of $\triangle BDC$

1. Side lengths:
   • $BD = 45.25$ ft
   • $DC = 58.6$ ft
   • $BC = \text{unknown}$ (but we'll calculate using other information)

Step 3: Apply Heron's Formula

Heron's formula is given by: $\text{Area} = \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}$ where $s$ is the semi-perimeter: $s = \frac{a + b + c}{2}$ and $a$, $b$, and $c$ are the side lengths of the triangle.

Step 4: Sum of areas to get total area

The total land area is the sum of the areas of $\triangle ABD$ and $\triangle BDC$.

Let me calculate the exact area for each triangle.The total land area is approximately 2660.24 square feet.
