Examples

1

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

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 handbreadth is:

Length(Handbreadth) = Length(Rods (US survey)) / 0.015151484845620605

Substitution:

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

Length(Handbreadth) = 30 / 0.015151484845620605

Length(Handbreadth) = 1980.004

Final Answer:

Therefore, 30 rd is equal to 1980.004 handbreadth.

The length is 1980.004 handbreadth, in handbreadth.

2

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

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 handbreadth is:

Length(Handbreadth) = Length(Rods (US survey)) / 0.015151484845620605

Substitution:

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

Length(Handbreadth) = 50 / 0.015151484845620605

Length(Handbreadth) = 3300.0066
