Convert square chain to arpent

Learn how to convert 1 square chain to arpent step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (s q u a r e c h a i n) = x (a r p e n t)

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

(s q u a r e m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (s q u a r e c h a i n) = 404.68564224 (s q u a r e m e t e r) = 404.68564224 (m^{2})

Right side: 1.0 (a r p e n t) = 3418.74 (s q u a r e m e t e r) = 3418.74 (m^{2})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (s q u a r e c h a i n) = x (a r p e n t)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 404.68564224 \times (s q u a r e m e t e r) = x \times 3418.74 \times (s q u a r e m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 404.68564224 \cdot (m^{2}) = x \cdot 3418.74 \cdot (m^{2})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 404.68564224 \cdot (m^{2}) = x \times 3418.74 \times (m^{2})

Conversion Equation

404.68564224 = x \times 3418.74

Switch sides

x \times 3418.74 = 404.68564224

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{3418.74})

x \times 3418.74 \times \frac{1.0}{3418.74} = 404.68564224 \times \frac{1.0}{3418.74}

Cancel

x \times 3418.74 \times \frac{1.0}{3418.74} = 404.68564224 \times \frac{1.0}{3418.74}

Simplify

x = \frac{404.68564224}{3418.74}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.1183727462 \approx 1.1837 \times 10^{- 1}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (s q u a r e c h a i n) \approx 1.1837 \times 10^{- 1} (a r p e n t)
