You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Your question is not clear but i will make some assumptinos.
Is the boarder in addion to the 84x50ft area you provided? If so, then:
Each end will have a 2 ft borader so it adds 4 ft to the lenght and 4 ft to the width.
%2884+%2B+4%29+%2A+%2850+%2B+4%29++=++88+%2A+54+=+4752ft%5E2
