Chapter 22, Problem 22.1P

To determine

Convert $66.35$ chains into feet.

Answer to Problem 22.1P

  $4379.1feet$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Chains $n=66.35$

Calculation:

A Gunter’s chain has $\text{100}$ links and each link are $\text{0}\text{.636ft}$ . it shows that chain has length of $\text{66ft}$ .

Length of chain in feet is given by

  ${\text{L}}_{\text{C}}\text{= 66 n}$

Here, n is number of chains used

  $\text{LC = 66 × 66}\text{.35 = 4379}\text{.1 ft}$

Conclusion:

Therefore, the length of the chain in feet is $4379.1feet$ .
