Examples

1

Consider that a farmer's field is 20 chains long.
Convert this distance from chains to Decimeters.

Answer:

Given:

The length in chains is:

Length(Chains) = 20

Formula:

The formula to convert length from chains to decimeters is:

Length(Decimeters) = Length(Chains) / 0.00497096954

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Chains) = 20 in the above formula.

Length(Decimeters) = 20 / 0.00497096954

Length(Decimeters) = 4023.36

Final Answer:

Therefore, 20 ch is equal to 4023.36 dm.

The length is 4023.36 dm, in decimeters.

2

Consider that a surveyor measures a plot of land that is 15 chains in length.
Convert this distance from chains to Decimeters.

Answer:

Given:

The length in chains is:

Length(Chains) = 15

Formula:

The formula to convert length from chains to decimeters is:

Length(Decimeters) = Length(Chains) / 0.00497096954

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Chains) = 15 in the above formula.

Length(Decimeters) = 15 / 0.00497096954

Length(Decimeters) = 3017.52

Final Answer:

Therefore, 15 ch is equal to 3017.52 dm.

The length is 3017.52 dm, in decimeters.

Chains

A chain is a unit of length used primarily in land surveying and agriculture. One chain is equivalent to 66 feet or approximately 20.1168 meters.

The chain is defined as 66 feet, which is historically based on the length of a chain used in surveying practices and land measurement.

Chains are commonly used in land surveying for measuring distances, particularly in the United States and the United Kingdom. The unit is useful for tasks such as plotting and dividing land and has historical significance in the development of surveying techniques.

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.
