Convert square chain to oxgang

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

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

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) = 929.0304 (s q u a r e m e t e r) = 929.0304 (m^{2})

Right side: 1.0 (o x g a n g) = 6.0 \times 10^{4} (s q u a r e m e t e r) = 6.0 \times 10^{4} (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 (o x g a n g)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 929.0304 \times (s q u a r e m e t e r) = x \times 6.0 \times 10^{4} \times (s q u a r e m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 929.0304 \cdot (m^{2}) = x \cdot 6.0 \times 10^{4} \cdot (m^{2})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 929.0304 \cdot (m^{2}) = x \times 6.0 \times 10^{4} \times (m^{2})

Conversion Equation

929.0304 = x \times 6.0 \times 10^{4}

Switch sides

x \times 6.0 \times 10^{4} = 929.0304

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{6.0 \times 10^{4}})

x \times 6.0 \times 10^{4} \times \frac{1.0}{6.0 \times 10^{4}} = 929.0304 \times \frac{1.0}{6.0 \times 10^{4}}

Cancel

x \times 6.0 \times 10^{4} \times \frac{1.0}{6.0 \times 10^{4}} = 929.0304 \times \frac{1.0}{6.0 \times 10^{4}}

Simplify

x = \frac{929.0304}{6.0 \times 10^{4}}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{4}} can be rewritten to 10^{- 4}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{- 4} \times 929.0304}{6.0}

Solve

x

x = 0.01548384 \approx 1.5484 \times 10^{- 2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (s q u a r e c h a i n) \approx 1.5484 \times 10^{- 2} (o x g a n g)
