What is the Formula to convert Chains (US survey) to Dekameters?

The formula to convert given length from Chains (US survey) to Dekameters is:

Length_(Dekameters) = Length_{(Chains (US survey))} / 0.49709596

Substitute the given value of length in chains (us survey), i.e., Length_{(Chains (US survey))} in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the length in dekameters, i.e., Length_(Dekameters).

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

Consider that a land survey recorded a boundary line of 25 chains (US survey).
Convert this distance from chains (US survey) to Dekameters.

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 dekameters is:

Length_(Dekameters) = Length_{(Chains (US survey))} / 0.49709596

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length_{(Chains (US survey))} = 25 in the above formula.

Length_(Dekameters) = 25 / 0.49709596

Length_(Dekameters) = 50.2921

Final Answer:

Therefore, 25 ch is equal to 50.2921 dam.

The length is 50.2921 dam, in dekameters.

2

Consider that a railway track section measures 30 chains (US survey).
Convert this distance from chains (US survey) to Dekameters.

Answer:

Given:

The length in chains (us survey) is:

Length_{(Chains (US survey))} = 30

Formula:

The formula to convert length from chains (us survey) to dekameters is:

Length_(Dekameters) = Length_{(Chains (US survey))} / 0.49709596

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length_{(Chains (US survey))} = 30 in the above formula.

Length_(Dekameters) = 30 / 0.49709596

Length_(Dekameters) = 60.3505

Final Answer:

Therefore, 30 ch is equal to 60.3505 dam.

The length is 60.3505 dam, in dekameters.

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.

Dekameters

A dekameter (dam) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). One dekameter is equivalent to 10 meters or approximately 32.808 feet.

The dekameter is defined as ten meters, providing a convenient measurement for moderately large distances.

Dekameters are used in various fields to measure length and distance where a scale between meters and hectometers is appropriate. They are less commonly used than other metric units but can be useful in certain applications, such as land measurement and environmental science.
