The Yard (yd) is often used in sports and fabric measurements. A football field is 100 yards long, a yardstick is 1 yard, and a swimming pool can be around 25 yards in length. It’s a common unit in the United States and the UK for measuring land and fabrics. 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 Yard (yd) and Chain (ch), use the following formulas:
1 Yard (yd) = 0.04545454545454545 Chain (ch)
1 Chain (ch) = 22 Yard (yd)
1 yd = 1 * 0.04545454545454545 ch = 0.04545454545454545 ch
2 yd = 2 * 0.04545454545454545 ch = 0.0909090909090909 ch
5 yd = 5 * 0.04545454545454545 ch = 0.22727272727272724 ch
10 yd = 10 * 0.04545454545454545 ch = 0.4545454545454545 ch
20 yd = 20 * 0.04545454545454545 ch = 0.909090909090909 ch
50 yd = 50 * 0.04545454545454545 ch = 2.2727272727272725 ch
100 yd = 100 * 0.04545454545454545 ch = 4.545454545454545 ch
