You state your lot is 200x80 so 16,000 sq foot. Of course you need to subtract the footprint of you home and any planting beds.

It is important not only to decide what mower to purchase but perhaps more important to know how much fertilizer etc is needed for each section of your lawn.

Close enough is fine. A free form rectangle just firgure it as a rectangle ame for triangle,circle etc.

My lawn is 5000 sq foot. For a spreader I use one of those
Green Scotts hand crank Whirleybird spreaders. It works fine. It is inexpensive and it takes up no valueable storage space.
