Convert square chain to cord

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (s q u a r e c h a i n) = x (c o r d)

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) = 4.0 \times 10^{2} (s q u a r e m e t e r) = 4.0 \times 10^{2} (m^{2})

Right side: 1.0 (c o r d) = \frac{14863.0}{9999.0} (s q u a r e m e t e r) = \frac{14863.0}{9999.0} (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 (c o r d)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 4.0 \times 10^{2} \times (s q u a r e m e t e r) = x \times \frac{14863.0}{9999.0} \times (s q u a r e m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 4.0 \times 10^{2} \cdot (m^{2}) = x \cdot \frac{14863.0}{9999.0} \cdot (m^{2})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 4.0 \times 10^{2} \cdot (m^{2}) = x \times \frac{14863.0}{9999.0} \times (m^{2})

Conversion Equation

4.0 \times 10^{2} = x \times \frac{14863.0}{9999.0}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{14863.0}{9999.0} = 4.0 \times 10^{2}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{9999.0}{14863.0})

x \times \frac{14863.0}{9999.0} \times \frac{9999.0}{14863.0} = 4.0 \times 10^{2} \times \frac{9999.0}{14863.0}

Cancel

x \times \frac{14863.0 \times 9999.0}{9999.0 \times 14863.0} = 4.0 \times 10^{2} \times \frac{9999.0}{14863.0}

Simplify

x = \frac{4.0 \times 10^{2} \times 9999.0}{14863.0}

Solve

x

x \approx 269.09775954 \approx 2.691 \times 10^{2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (s q u a r e c h a i n) \approx 2.691 \times 10^{2} (c o r d)
