Furlongs

A furlong is a unit of length used primarily in horse racing and agriculture. One furlong is equivalent to 220 yards or approximately 201.168 meters.

The furlong is defined as one-eighth of a mile, making it a useful measurement for shorter distances, especially in contexts like racetracks and land measurement.

Furlongs are commonly used in horse racing to describe the length of a race and in agriculture for measuring field lengths. The unit is less frequently used in modern contexts but remains important in specific areas where its historical relevance endures.

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.
