Examples
1
Consider that a land survey recorded a boundary line of 25 chains (US survey). Convert this distance from chains (US survey) to Decimeters.
Answer:
Given:
The length in chains (us survey) is:
Length(Chains (US survey)) = 25
Formula:
The formula to convert length from chains (us survey) to decimeters is:
Substitute given weight Length(Chains (US survey)) = 30 in the above formula.
Length(Decimeters) = 30 / 0.0049709596
Length(Decimeters) = 6035.0521
Final Answer:
Therefore, 30 ch is equal to 6035.0521 dm.
The length is 6035.0521 dm, in decimeters.

Chains (US survey)
A chain (US survey) is a unit of length used primarily in land surveying in the United States. One US survey chain is equivalent to exactly 66 feet or approximately 20.1168 meters.
The US survey chain is defined as 66 feet, based on historical surveying practices and used for measuring and plotting land.
Chains (US survey) are used in land surveying for tasks such as property measurement, land division, and mapping in the United States. This unit ensures consistency and accuracy in surveying and land measurement activities.
Decimeters
A decimeter (dm) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). One decimeter is equivalent to 0.1 meters or approximately 3.937 inches.
The decimeter is defined as one-tenth of a meter, making it a convenient measurement for intermediate lengths.
Decimeters are used worldwide to measure length and distance in various fields, including science, engineering, and everyday life. They provide a useful scale for measurements that are larger than centimeters but smaller than meters, and are commonly used in educational settings and certain industries.
