Examples
1
Consider that a traditional Japanese building is 3 kens wide.
Convert this width from kens to Chains.
Answer:
Given:
The length in kens is:
Length(Kens) = 3
Formula:
The formula to convert length from kens to chains is:
Length(Chains) = Length(Kens) / 9.496402872748241
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Kens) = 3 in the above formula.
Length(Chains) = 3 / 9.496402872748241
Length(Chains) = 0.3159
Final Answer:
Therefore, 3 ken is equal to 0.3159 ch.
The length is 0.3159 ch, in chains.
2
Consider that a Japanese temple's hall is 5 kens long.
Convert this length from kens to Chains.
Answer:
Given:
The length in kens is:
Length(Kens) = 5
Formula:
The formula to convert length from kens to chains is:
Length(Chains) = Length(Kens) / 9.496402872748241
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Kens) = 5 in the above formula.
Length(Chains) = 5 / 9.496402872748241
Length(Chains) = 0.5265
Final Answer:
Therefore, 5 ken is equal to 0.5265 ch.
The length is 0.5265 ch, in chains.

Kens
A ken is a historical unit of length used in various cultures, particularly in Asia. The length of a ken can vary depending on the region and context. In Japan, one ken is approximately equivalent to 6 feet or about 1.8288 meters.
The ken was traditionally used in architectural and construction measurements, particularly in the design of buildings and layout of spaces.
Ken measurements were utilized in historical architecture and construction practices in Asian cultures. Although not commonly used today, the unit provides historical context for traditional measurement standards and practices in building and design.
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.
