Inches

Inches are a unit of length in the imperial and U.S. customary systems, defined as 1/12 of a foot. They are commonly used for measuring shorter lengths, such as the height of a person or the dimensions of a book. The inch has historical roots dating back to early English measurement standards.

Chains

A chain is a unit of length equal to 66 feet or 22 yards. It has historical significance and was widely used in the past for measuring large plots of land, especially in agriculture and real estate. The chain was often employed alongside other traditional units of length, such as rods and links. The use of chains has diminished in modern times, replaced by the metric system or other standard units of measurement. However, in some historical contexts or when dealing with older land survey records, you may still encounter references to measurements in chains.
