Convert square chain to square pole

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

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

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 (s q u a r e p o l e) = 25.29285264 (s q u a r e m e t e r) = 25.29285264 (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 (s q u a r e p o l e)

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 25.29285264 \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 25.29285264 \cdot (m^{2})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 4.0 \times 10^{2} \cdot (m^{2}) = x \times 25.29285264 \times (m^{2})

Conversion Equation

4.0 \times 10^{2} = x \times 25.29285264

Switch sides

x \times 25.29285264 = 4.0 \times 10^{2}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{25.29285264})

x \times 25.29285264 \times \frac{1.0}{25.29285264} = 4.0 \times 10^{2} \times \frac{1.0}{25.29285264}

Cancel

x \times 25.29285264 \times \frac{1.0}{25.29285264} = 4.0 \times 10^{2} \times \frac{1.0}{25.29285264}

Simplify

x = \frac{4.0 \times 10^{2}}{25.29285264}

Solve

x

x \approx 15.814744414 \approx 15.8147

Conversion Equation

1.0 (s q u a r e c h a i n) \approx 15.8147 (s q u a r e p o l e)
