Common mistakes
Do not mix the marla standards in one calculation. Do not confuse a square foot with a foot: a plot of 30 by 60 feet is 1,800 square feet, not 90. Remember that a gaz in this tool means a square yard (an area), not a length of one yard. Round only at the end, because rounding each step makes small errors that grow on large plots. Finally, keep the unit next to every number you write down so that nobody reads marla as square feet.
