He founded the Astor Market in 1915, investing $750,000 of his fortune into a 165′ by 125′ (50×38-metre) corner of 95th and Broadway, Manhattan, creating, in effect, an open-air mini-mall that sold meat, fruit, produce and flowers.

How do you read "165′ by 125′ (50×38-metre)"?

1. one hundred sixty-five by one hundred twenty-five (fifty by thirty-eight metre

2. one hundred inches sixty-five by one hundred twenty-five inches (fifty by thirty-eight metre

3. one hundred sixty-five inches by one hundred twenty-five inches (fifty times thirty-eight metre

None of those.

one hundred sixty-five feet by one hundred twenty-five feet (or fifty by thirty-eight metres)

‘ is the symbol for foot or feet
“ is the symbol for inch or inches

Thank you.

4. one hundred sixty-five feet by one hundred twenty-five feet (or fifty by thirty-eight meters) corner

5. one hundred sixty-five foot by one hundred twenty-five foot (or fifty by thirty-eight meter) corner

6. one hundred sixty-five feet by one hundred twenty-five feet (or fifty by thirty-eight meter) corner

* The phrase seem to modify "corner", so in that case, which one is right between #4 and #6?

Only #4 is correct since both measurements are in plural form — feet, meters.
