Examples
1
Consider that a horse is measured to be 16 hands tall.
Convert this height from hands to Meters.
Answer:
Given:
The length in hands is:
Length(Hands) = 16
Formula:
The formula to convert length from hands to meters is:
Length(Meters) = Length(Hands) / 9.842519685
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Hands) = 16 in the above formula.
Length(Meters) = 16 / 9.842519685
Length(Meters) = 1.6256
Final Answer:
Therefore, 16 hand is equal to 1.6256 m.
The length is 1.6256 m, in meters.
2
Consider that a racehorse stands at 15.5 hands.
Convert this measurement from hands to Meters.
Answer:
Given:
The length in hands is:
Length(Hands) = 15.5
Formula:
The formula to convert length from hands to meters is:
Length(Meters) = Length(Hands) / 9.842519685
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Hands) = 15.5 in the above formula.
Length(Meters) = 15.5 / 9.842519685
Length(Meters) = 1.5748
Final Answer:
Therefore, 15.5 hand is equal to 1.5748 m.
The length is 1.5748 m, in meters.

Hands
A hand is a unit of length used primarily to measure the height of horses. One hand is equivalent to 4 inches or approximately 0.1016 meters.
The hand is defined as 4 inches, providing a standardized measurement for assessing horse height, ensuring consistency across various contexts and practices.
Hands are used in the equestrian industry to measure the height of horses, from the ground to the highest point of the withers. The unit offers a convenient and traditional method for expressing horse height and remains in use in equestrian competitions and breed standards.
Meters
A meter (m) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). One meter is equivalent to approximately 3.2808 feet.
The meter is defined by the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 seconds.
Meters are used worldwide to measure length and distance in various fields, including science, engineering, and everyday life. Most countries have adopted the meter as the standard unit of measurement for length.
