what is the dimentions (lenght and with) of a modern skyscraper? and or a city block...?

The Sears Tower is 225 ft square at the base and 1450 ft tall.  It occupies one city block (remember that there is a lot of plaza space around the building, so the block is larger than 225 ft square).  Of course, most skyscrapers are considerably smaller than this.  Most city blocks are about 300 ft square, give or take 50 feet (it, of course, depends on the city).

First Use of the Term Skyscraper\nThe term "skyscraper" was first used during the 1880s, shortly after the first 10 to 20 story buildings were built in the United States. Combining several innovations: steel structure, elevators, central heating, electrical plumbing pumps and the telephone, skyscrapers came to dominate American skylines at the turn of the century. The world's tallest building when it opened in 1913, architect Cass Gilbert's 793-foot Woolworth Building was considered a leading example of tall building design.

Any of the skyscrapers - Empire State Buildin, Sears Tower - would be fine, since they're also very blocky. For a greater challenge, you might even try the Pentagon, since it is a regular pentagon in structure.\n\nYou might start off with the Washington Monument, since it's nearly 1-dimensional (because it's so much taller than wide or deep).\n\nI'm American, of course, so I think mostly in those boundaries - I'm sure there are buildings in other countries that work, too.

34,596 square feet. Wow. Now that's big. good luck!

I found a reference that says it's equal to 1000 sq meters.\n\nIt was on a Palastinian web site.

I will assume you want to find the sq ft of a house or building. You just multiply the length by the width. If the build has several different dimentions you will have to figure each area seperately and then add up the totals.

Same as the foundation of a house, except bigger.\n\nThere are several ways to build the foundation depending on the soil structure and the estimated weight of the skyscraper.

Difficult to show the sketch here. But the height, h, is:\n\nh = 500 ( 1 + sq. root of 3 )\n\nh = approx. 1,366 meters

Each of the walls is 246-feet, 8-inches long. They meet at an angle of 125 degrees, 12 minutes, pointing exactly to the northeast corners of the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial. The walls are supported along their entire length by 140 concrete pilings driven approximately 35 feet to bedrock.\n\nAt their vertex, the walls are 10-feet and 1 1/2-inches in height. The stone for the walls, safety curbs and walkways is black granite quarried near Bangalore, India. All cutting and fabrication was done in Barre, Vermont. The variations in color and texture are a result of different finishing techniques, i.e., polishing, honing, and flame treating.

In many areas of the world, streets are traditionally laid out on a grid plan, so that city blocks are square or rectangular. Since the spacing of streets in grid plans varies so widely among cities, or even within cities, it is impossible to generalize about the size of a city block. However, as reference points, the standard block in New York City is 200 feet on a side, approximately 1 acre, and in some U.S. cities standard blocks are as wide as 1/8 mile (660 feet or approximately 200 meters), or 10 acres if square.

A building square is defined as an area\nof 10 feet by 10 feet, or 100 square feet.\nThis is equivalent to 9.29 square metres.

Area = length times width\nA = L time W\nReplace L with 32 and W with 22\nA = 32 times 22\nA = 704 square feet

1) You did OK!\n\n2) The dimensions are 20 ft perpendicular and 120 ft parallel\n\nwhat the h*** is the single dimension C supposed to mean?

how big do you define as a city?
