A furlong is one eighth of a mile.
There 5280 feet in one mile.
Hence in one furlong there are 8)5280 = 660 feet.
However I do not underastand what your mean by '2-3 furlongs'?
Do you mean 2 furlongs or 3 furlongs?
Please clarify.
NB the word 'furlong' is from old middle English , and means 'furrows length', when ploughing with horses.
(1 furlong) x (220 yards/furlong) x (3 feet/yard) x (1 rod/16.5 feet) = 40 rods
1 mile = 5,280 feet1 furlong = 1/8 mile = 660 feet = 220 yards
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.
There are always 40 rods in 1 furlong. 1 rod = 16.5 feet. 1 furlong = 1/8 mile.
Eighth of mile = 1 furlong = 220 yards = 3 x 220 feet
