How long is 200 feet?

Question

I need to know for my driving test and I have no clue how long that is. Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Answer 1

It's 66.67 yards or 16 yards more than half the length of a foot ball field. If you can envision half the length of a football field then you're pretty close to knowing what it looks like. If you're trying to figure out following distances it's better to use the time rule. Start counting as the car ahead passes a fixed object and stop when you reach that same object. Ideal following distance is 2 to 3 seconds. Three second following distance at highway will give you about three car lengths of clearance from the car ahead.

Answer 2

2,400 inches.

Answer 3

61 meters.

Answer 4

i think it's like the distance between like  around 4 or 6 telephone poles

Answer 5

Hold your arm out in front of you and put your thumb and forefinger about 1/2 inch apart...Put the whole front or back end of a car between those two fingers...And that will give you a pretty good idea.

All the best.

Answer 6

About 12 to 15 times as long as your car.  2/3 the length of a football field (goal line to goal line).

Answer 7

2/3 of a football field...

Answer 8

well in mile none,but in yards (36x) which is 6 yards and 16 inches.good luck on test

Answer 9

You can count to 4 seconds in 200 feet while driving at 35 MPH.

That said, 200 feet is about the length of 12-13 cars. It is also the minimum distance that you should signal a turn or lane change.

Answer 10

It's one foot longer than 199 feet.

Answer 11

200 ft, derrr

Answer 12

what is this in comparison to?  If you are talking about car lengths, it would be about 12 1/2 car lengths.  That is what the average car length about 16 feet or so.

Answer 13

Is around (4) house front lengths...

Answer 14

I think the average house lot is about 40 - 50 ft wide, so that would make about 3 - 4 house lots, right? Use some reference like that and it will help you. You could also use power poles (about 3 or 4 power poles). If you are talking when to signal, then it would be about that far (1/2 block or a bit less).

Answer 15

200 feet = 60.96 meters
