Examples

1

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

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 kilometers is:

Length(Kilometers) = Length(Chains (US survey)) / 49.709596

Substitution:

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

Length(Kilometers) = 25 / 49.709596

Length(Kilometers) = 0.5029

Final Answer:

Therefore, 25 ch is equal to 0.5029 km.

The length is 0.5029 km, in kilometers.

2

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

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 kilometers is:

Length(Kilometers) = Length(Chains (US survey)) / 49.709596

Substitution:

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

Length(Kilometers) = 30 / 49.709596

Length(Kilometers) = 0.6035

Final Answer:

Therefore, 30 ch is equal to 0.6035 km.

The length is 0.6035 km, in kilometers.

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.

Kilometers

A kilometer (km) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 0.6214 miles. One kilometer is one thousand meters.

The prefix "kilo-" means one thousand. A kilometer is defined by 1000 times the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 seconds. This definition may change, but a kilometer will always be one thousand meters.

Kilometers are used to measure distances on land in most countries. However, the United States and the United Kingdom still often use miles. The UK has adopted the metric system, but miles are still used on road signs.
