Examples
1
Consider that a farmer's field is 20 chains long. Convert this distance from chains to Hectameters.
Answer:
Given:
The length in chains is:
Length(Chains) = 20
Formula:
The formula to convert length from chains to hectameters is:
Length(Hectameters) = Length(Chains) / 4.97096954
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Chains) = 20 in the above formula.
Length(Hectameters) = 20 / 4.97096954
Length(Hectameters) = 4.0234
Final Answer:
Therefore, 20 ch is equal to 4.0234 hm.
The length is 4.0234 hm, in hectameters.
2
Consider that a surveyor measures a plot of land that is 15 chains in length. Convert this distance from chains to Hectameters.
Answer:
Given:
The length in chains is:
Length(Chains) = 15
Formula:
The formula to convert length from chains to hectameters is:
Length(Hectameters) = Length(Chains) / 4.97096954
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Chains) = 15 in the above formula.
Length(Hectameters) = 15 / 4.97096954
Length(Hectameters) = 3.0175
Final Answer:
Therefore, 15 ch is equal to 3.0175 hm.
The length is 3.0175 hm, in hectameters.

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.
Hectameters
A hectometer (hm) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). One hectometer is equivalent to 100 meters or approximately 328.084 feet.
The hectometer is defined as one hundred meters, providing a measurement for larger distances that are not as extensive as kilometers.
Hectometers are used in various fields, including land measurement and environmental science, to describe distances and areas on a scale larger than meters but smaller than kilometers.
