The Inch (in) is commonly used in the United States and other countries for measuring small to medium objects. For example, a smartphone screen is around 6 inches, a standard ruler is 12 inches, and a doorway height is about 80 inches. It's widely used in carpentry, display sizes, and construction. 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 Inch (in) and Chain (ch), use the following formulas:
1 Inch (in) = 0.0012626262626262625 Chain (ch)
1 Chain (ch) = 792.0000000000001 Inch (in)
1 in = 1 * 0.0012626262626262625 ch = 0.0012626262626262625 ch
2 in = 2 * 0.0012626262626262625 ch = 0.002525252525252525 ch
5 in = 5 * 0.0012626262626262625 ch = 0.006313131313131312 ch
10 in = 10 * 0.0012626262626262625 ch = 0.012626262626262624 ch
20 in = 20 * 0.0012626262626262625 ch = 0.02525252525252525 ch
50 in = 50 * 0.0012626262626262625 ch = 0.06313131313131312 ch
100 in = 100 * 0.0012626262626262625 ch = 0.12626262626262624 ch
