3feet = 1 yard. Here is the Table of Imperial Linear Measure. 12inches = 1 foot 3 feet = 1 yard 22 yards = 1 chain 10 chains = 1 furlong 8 furlongs = 1 mile.
It depends on what you're measuring. If measuring the length of the river, then miles. If measuring the width, then probably yards (or feet). If measuring water depth, then probably feet.
A furlong is one eighth of a mile. There are 1760 yards in one mile so there are 220 yards in one furlong. There are 3 feet in 1 yard, so a furlong measures 220 yards x 3, which is 660 feet.
(1 furlong) x (220 yards/furlong) x (3 feet/yard) x (1 rod/16.5 feet) = 40 rods
An acre was NOT defined as 43560 feet, but as 43560 SQUARE feet. This is immediately apparent when you consider that an acre is a measure of area, with dimensions [L2]. A foot is a measure of distance, with dimensions [L]. Basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions without additional information. An acre is equivalent to the area of 1 furlong (660 feet) by 1 chain (66 feet).
"Furlow" is not a unit of measure. A "furlong" is a length of 660 ft.
3feet = 1 yard. Here is the Table of Imperial Linear Measure. 12inches = 1 foot 3 feet = 1 yard 22 yards = 1 chain 10 chains = 1 furlong 8 furlongs = 1 mile.
As a unit of length, a chain is 66 feet long. So two chains would be 132 feet long. As there are 10 chains in a furlong, 2 chains is also equal to 1/5 of a furlong.
A furlong is a measure of distance in imperial units and U.S. customary units. It is equal to one-eighth of an international mile, to 220 yards, and to 660 feet.
use a measuring measure,like the one for clothes measuring
One furlong ***is*** 660 feet...hence, 660 feet is 1 furlong.
1 furlong = 201.16800 meters
It depends on what you're measuring. If measuring the length of the river, then miles. If measuring the width, then probably yards (or feet). If measuring water depth, then probably feet.
They are both units of measurement of distance, but a furlong is a distance equal to 201.168 meters. A fathom is a distance equal to 1.8288 meters. They are often mistaken for the same thing.
A furlong is one eighth of a mile. There are 1760 yards in one mile so there are 220 yards in one furlong. There are 3 feet in 1 yard, so a furlong measures 220 yards x 3, which is 660 feet.
1 furlong is 201.168 metres. Hope that helps
(1 furlong) x (220 yards/furlong) x (3 feet/yard) x (1 rod/16.5 feet) = 40 rods
