The Meter (m) or (mtr) is used for everyday measurements like room dimensions (3-4 meters), the height of a door (2 meters), or the length of a car (4-5 meters). It's also used in sports, such as the height of a basketball hoop (3.05 meters). 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 Meter (m) and Chain (ch), use the following formulas:
1 Meter (m) = 0.049709695378986715 Chain (ch)
1 Chain (ch) = 20.1168 Meter (m)
1 m = 1 * 0.049709695378986715 ch = 0.049709695378986715 ch
3 m = 3 * 0.049709695378986715 ch = 0.14912908613696013 ch
5 m = 5 * 0.049709695378986715 ch = 0.2485484768949336 ch
7 m = 7 * 0.049709695378986715 ch = 0.347967867652907 ch
10 m = 10 * 0.049709695378986715 ch = 0.4970969537898672 ch
20 m = 20 * 0.049709695378986715 ch = 0.9941939075797344 ch
100 m = 100 * 0.049709695378986715 ch = 4.970969537898672 ch
