Convert arpent length to ligne

Learn how to convert 1 arpent length to ligne step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (a r p e n t l e n g t h) = x (l i g n e)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (a r p e n t l e n g t h) = 58.5216 (m e t e r) = 58.5216 (m)

Right side: 1.0 (l i g n e) = \frac{0.2233275}{99.0} (m e t e r) = \frac{0.2233275}{99.0} (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (a r p e n t l e n g t h) = x (l i g n e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 58.5216 \times (m e t e r) = x \times \frac{0.2233275}{99.0} \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 58.5216 \cdot (m) = x \cdot \frac{0.2233275}{99.0} \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 58.5216 \cdot (m) = x \times \frac{0.2233275}{99.0} \times (m)

Conversion Equation

58.5216 = x \times \frac{0.2233275}{99.0}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{0.2233275}{99.0} = 58.5216

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{99.0}{0.2233275})

x \times \frac{0.2233275}{99.0} \times \frac{99.0}{0.2233275} = 58.5216 \times \frac{99.0}{0.2233275}

Cancel

x \times \frac{0.2233275 \times 99.0}{99.0 \times 0.2233275} = 58.5216 \times \frac{99.0}{0.2233275}

Simplify

x = \frac{58.5216 \times 99.0}{0.2233275}

Solve

x

x \approx 25942.342076 \approx 2.5942 \times 10^{4}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (a r p e n t l e n g t h) \approx 2.5942 \times 10^{4} (l i g n e)
