You didn't provide enough information. For example, the 42 and 32.5 sides could be opposite each other, or they could be adjacent. That changes the shape of this thing, and if you change the shape, you change the area.
So no, you can't say 419 sq m is correct without saying in what order the four line segments connect to each other.

The way the problem is stated, there is simply *no* way to arrive at a unique solution without making several assumptions.

More info is needed. Draw it out and try to divide it into triangles and rectangles that will be easier to solve.

Vatican? Can you be more specific, like telling us if it is country, state, province, or city?
