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:
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.
