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

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 fathoms is:

Length(Fathoms) = Length(Rods (US survey)) / 0.3636356362727273

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Rods (US survey)) = 30 in the above formula.

Length(Fathoms) = 30 / 0.3636356362727273

Length(Fathoms) = 82.5002

Final Answer:

Therefore, 30 rd is equal to 82.5002 fath.

The length is 82.5002 fath, in fathoms.

2

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

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 fathoms is:

Length(Fathoms) = Length(Rods (US survey)) / 0.3636356362727273

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Rods (US survey)) = 50 in the above formula.

Length(Fathoms) = 50 / 0.3636356362727273

Length(Fathoms) = 137.5003

Final Answer:

Therefore, 50 rd is equal to 137.5003 fath.

The length is 137.5003 fath, in fathoms.
