Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

Consider that a surveyor records a property boundary as 30 rods (US survey) long.
Convert this distance from rods (US survey) to Chains.

Answer:

Given:

The length in rods (us survey) is:

Length_{(Rods (US survey))} = 30

Formula:

The formula to convert length from rods (us survey) to chains is:

Length_(Chains) = Length_{(Rods (US survey))} / 3.9999919975369633

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length_{(Rods (US survey))} = 30 in the above formula.

Length_(Chains) = 30 / 3.9999919975369633

Length_(Chains) = 7.5

Final Answer:

Therefore, 30 rd is equal to 7.5 ch.

The length is 7.5 ch, in chains.

Consider that a farm's perimeter is measured at 50 rods (US survey).
Convert this distance from rods (US survey) to Chains.

Answer:

Given:

The length in rods (us survey) is:

Length_{(Rods (US survey))} = 50

Formula:

The formula to convert length from rods (us survey) to chains is:

Length_(Chains) = Length_{(Rods (US survey))} / 3.9999919975369633

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length_{(Rods (US survey))} = 50 in the above formula.

Length_(Chains) = 50 / 3.9999919975369633

Length_(Chains) = 12.5

Final Answer:

Therefore, 50 rd is equal to 12.5 ch.

The length is 12.5 ch, in chains.

Rods (US survey)

A rod (US survey) is a unit of length used primarily in land surveying in the United States. One US survey rod is equivalent to exactly 16.5 feet or approximately 5.0292 meters.

The US survey rod is defined as 16.5 feet, based on historical surveying practices and used for measuring and plotting land.

Rods (US survey) are used in land surveying, property measurement, and agricultural practices in the United States. The unit ensures consistency and accuracy in measuring shorter distances within these fields.

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.
