The lot is 44431.2 ft2
44431.2 = (0.5)(129.98 + 72.9)h, h being the height, here the depth of the lot.
88862.4 = 202.88h
438.005 ≈ h
The width of the lot decreases from 129.98 ft to 72.9 ft.
This is a decrease of 57.08. The decrease is a linear function of depth.
(200 / 438.005)(57.08) = 26.063
At 200 ft back the lot is 129.98 - 26.063 or 103.917 ft give or take an inch or two!

For land, one tenth of a foot is way too precise, but a hundredth of a foot is REDICULOUS !! Math problems are often this silly. So, "give or take an inch or two" sounds much more like the precision that you would find on a survey map or on a title.12/12/21
