Convert square yard to square chain

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

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

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 y a r d) = 0.83612736 (s q u a r e m e t e r) = 0.83612736 (m^{2})

Right 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})

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 0.83612736 \times (s q u a r e m e t e r) = x \times 929.0304 \times (s q u a r e m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 0.83612736 \cdot (m^{2}) = x \cdot 929.0304 \cdot (m^{2})

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 0.83612736 \cdot (m^{2}) = x \times 929.0304 \times (m^{2})

Conversion Equation

0.83612736 = x \times 929.0304

Switch sides

x \times 929.0304 = 0.83612736

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{929.0304})

x \times 929.0304 \times \frac{1.0}{929.0304} = 0.83612736 \times \frac{1.0}{929.0304}

Cancel

x \times 929.0304 \times \frac{1.0}{929.0304} = 0.83612736 \times \frac{1.0}{929.0304}

Simplify

x = \frac{0.83612736}{929.0304}

Solve

x

x = 9 \times 10^{- 4}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (s q u a r e y a r d) = 9 \times 10^{- 4} (s q u a r e c h a i n)
