The induced voltage is N (-dΦ/dt) where N=50 and flux is Φ=BAcos (θ). B is the field and A is the area. The trick is to see that because the loop is a square with side length L, that the area is L^2. For your magnetic flux density values I'm seeing "200? t" and 600? t" Am I right in thinking these are microTesla, uT? I will assume so but if it's something else you'll have to find the answer again So dB/dt = (600e-6-200e-6) / 0.4=1e-3. Now,

80mV = (50) (1e-3) (L^2) cos (30)

L = 1.359m

Thus the perimeter of the square is 4 (1.359m) = 5.437m

And the total length is (50) (5.437m) = 271.85m
