Examples
1
Consider that a farmer's field is 20 chains long. Convert this distance from chains to Nautical Miles (UK).
Answer:
Given:
The length in chains is:
Length(Chains) = 20
Formula:
The formula to convert length from chains to nautical miles (uk) is:
Length(Nautical Miles (UK)) = Length(Chains) / 92.12121640038264
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Chains) = 20 in the above formula.
Length(Nautical Miles (UK)) = 20 / 92.12121640038264
Length(Nautical Miles (UK)) = 0.2171
Final Answer:
Therefore, 20 ch is equal to 0.2171 NM (UK).
The length is 0.2171 NM (UK), in nautical miles (uk).
2
Consider that a surveyor measures a plot of land that is 15 chains in length. Convert this distance from chains to Nautical Miles (UK).
Answer:
Given:
The length in chains is:
Length(Chains) = 15
Formula:
The formula to convert length from chains to nautical miles (uk) is:
Length(Nautical Miles (UK)) = Length(Chains) / 92.12121640038264
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Chains) = 15 in the above formula.
Length(Nautical Miles (UK)) = 15 / 92.12121640038264
Length(Nautical Miles (UK)) = 0.1628
Final Answer:
Therefore, 15 ch is equal to 0.1628 NM (UK).
The length is 0.1628 NM (UK), in nautical miles (uk).
