Examples
1
Consider that a farmer's field is 20 chains long.
Convert this distance from chains to Hands.
Answer:
Given:
The length in chains is:
Length(Chains) = 20
Formula:
The formula to convert length from chains to hands is:
Length(Hands) = Length(Chains) / 0.005050505052660202
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Chains) = 20 in the above formula.
Length(Hands) = 20 / 0.005050505052660202
Length(Hands) = 3960
Final Answer:
Therefore, 20 ch is equal to 3960 hand.
The length is 3960 hand, in hands.
2
Consider that a surveyor measures a plot of land that is 15 chains in length.
Convert this distance from chains to Hands.
Answer:
Given:
The length in chains is:
Length(Chains) = 15
Formula:
The formula to convert length from chains to hands is:
Length(Hands) = Length(Chains) / 0.005050505052660202
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Chains) = 15 in the above formula.
Length(Hands) = 15 / 0.005050505052660202
Length(Hands) = 2970
Final Answer:
Therefore, 15 ch is equal to 2970 hand.
The length is 2970 hand, in hands.

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.
Hands
A hand is a unit of length used primarily to measure the height of horses. One hand is equivalent to 4 inches or approximately 0.1016 meters.
The hand is defined as 4 inches, providing a standardized measurement for assessing horse height, ensuring consistency across various contexts and practices.
Hands are used in the equestrian industry to measure the height of horses, from the ground to the highest point of the withers. The unit offers a convenient and traditional method for expressing horse height and remains in use in equestrian competitions and breed standards.
