Examples
1
Consider that a river's depth is measured at 5 fathoms (US survey). Convert this depth from fathoms (US survey) to Hectameters.
Answer:
Given:
The length in fathoms (us survey) is:
Length(Fathoms (US survey)) = 5
Formula:
The formula to convert length from fathoms (us survey) to hectameters is:
Substitute given weight Length(Fathoms (US survey)) = 8 in the above formula.
Length(Hectameters) = 8 / 54.680555559999995
Length(Hectameters) = 0.1463
Final Answer:
Therefore, 8 fath is equal to 0.1463 hm.
The length is 0.1463 hm, in hectameters.

Fathoms (US survey)
A fathom (US survey) is a unit of length used primarily in maritime contexts in the United States to measure water depth. One US survey fathom is equivalent to exactly 6 feet or approximately 1.8288 meters.
The US survey fathom is defined as 6 feet, consistent with historical maritime measurement practices and used for depth soundings and underwater measurements.
Fathoms (US survey) are utilized in navigation, fishing, and marine activities in the United States to describe water depth. The unit provides a practical measurement for underwater distances and ensures consistency in maritime practices.
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.
