Examples

1

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

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 fathoms is:

Length(Fathoms) = Length(Chains (US survey)) / 0.09090890915962183

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Chains (US survey)) = 25 in the above formula.

Length(Fathoms) = 25 / 0.09090890915962183

Length(Fathoms) = 275.0005

Final Answer:

Therefore, 25 ch is equal to 275.0005 fath.

The length is 275.0005 fath, in fathoms.

2

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

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 fathoms is:

Length(Fathoms) = Length(Chains (US survey)) / 0.09090890915962183

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Chains (US survey)) = 30 in the above formula.

Length(Fathoms) = 30 / 0.09090890915962183

Length(Fathoms) = 330.0007

Final Answer:

Therefore, 30 ch is equal to 330.0007 fath.

The length is 330.0007 fath, in fathoms.
