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:
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.
