The Foot (ft) is commonly used in the United States and other countries for measuring medium distances. For example, the height of a table is about 3 feet, a door is usually 6.5 feet tall, and a basketball hoop is 10 feet high. It’s widely used in construction, real estate, and everyday life. The Chain (Gunter's chain) was fundamental in surveying the American frontier. Measuring 66 feet (4 rods), it's the length of a cricket pitch. Ten square chains make an acre. Modern surveyors still reference chains in legal descriptions, and the unit remains visible in rural road layouts across the US.
To convert between Foot (ft) and Chain (ch), use the following formulas:
1 Foot (ft) = 0.015151515151515152 Chain (ch)
1 Chain (ch) = 66 Foot (ft)
1 ft = 1 * 0.015151515151515152 ch = 0.015151515151515152 ch
2 ft = 2 * 0.015151515151515152 ch = 0.030303030303030304 ch
3 ft = 3 * 0.015151515151515152 ch = 0.045454545454545456 ch
5 ft = 5 * 0.015151515151515152 ch = 0.07575757575757576 ch
10 ft = 10 * 0.015151515151515152 ch = 0.15151515151515152 ch
15 ft = 15 * 0.015151515151515152 ch = 0.2272727272727273 ch
20 ft = 20 * 0.015151515151515152 ch = 0.30303030303030304 ch
