A horizontal loop antenna for 80m that uses 287 ft of wire presumably has a circumference of 287' giving a calculated diameter of 91 1/4' or 45 1/2' radius. The area covered is just under 944'.

Length of a full-wave 80-meter loop is about 270 feet long (1005 divided by frequency in MHz)

If you make it a square instead of a circle then you have 67' sides.

Length of a full-wave 80-meter loop is about 270 feet long (1005 divided by frequency in MHz)
