Examples

1

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

Answer:

Given:

The length in chains is:

Length(Chains) = 20

Formula:

The formula to convert length from chains to dekameters is:

Length(Dekameters) = Length(Chains) / 0.4970969539999999

Substitution:

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

Length(Dekameters) = 20 / 0.4970969539999999

Length(Dekameters) = 40.2336

Final Answer:

Therefore, 20 ch is equal to 40.2336 dam.

The length is 40.2336 dam, in dekameters.

2

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

Answer:

Given:

The length in chains is:

Length(Chains) = 15

Formula:

The formula to convert length from chains to dekameters is:

Length(Dekameters) = Length(Chains) / 0.4970969539999999

Substitution:

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

Length(Dekameters) = 15 / 0.4970969539999999

Length(Dekameters) = 30.1752

Final Answer:

Therefore, 15 ch is equal to 30.1752 dam.

The length is 30.1752 dam, in dekameters.

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.

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.
