Estimating Distances

I had the task of estimating my house i thought it would be pretty big. I wasn't but i measured the front door with my foot... I counted & i got about 59 foot steps beggining from the edge of the fence to the other side of the parking lot.If my foot is a size 8 then i would multiply it but 59.. That means that our house is 489 feet. The reason i feel that this estimate is reasonable is because the width of my house is also 59 feet.& the length would also be 59. So i just multiply that.in total the area would be 489.
