Examples

1

Consider that a farmer's field is 20 chains long.
Convert this distance from chains to Rods (US survey).

Answer:

Given:

The length in chains is:

Length(Chains) = 20

Formula:

The formula to convert length from chains to rods (us survey) is:

Length(Rods (US survey)) = Length(Chains) / 0.2500005001549404

Substitution:

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

Length(Rods (US survey)) = 20 / 0.2500005001549404

Length(Rods (US survey)) = 79.9998

Final Answer:

Therefore, 20 ch is equal to 79.9998 rd.

The length is 79.9998 rd, in rods (us survey).

2

Consider that a surveyor measures a plot of land that is 15 chains in length.
Convert this distance from chains to Rods (US survey).

Answer:

Given:

The length in chains is:

Length(Chains) = 15

Formula:

The formula to convert length from chains to rods (us survey) is:

Length(Rods (US survey)) = Length(Chains) / 0.2500005001549404

Substitution:

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

Length(Rods (US survey)) = 15 / 0.2500005001549404

Length(Rods (US survey)) = 59.9999

Final Answer:

Therefore, 15 ch is equal to 59.9999 rd.

The length is 59.9999 rd, in rods (us survey).
