The definition of an acre land is a rectangle that measures 1 furlong by 1 chain (old units of length). A chain is 22 yards.

How many modern day meters make the length of one chain?

Question

The definition of an acre land is a rectangle that measures 1 furlong by 1 chain (old units of length).  A chain is 22 yards.

How many modern day meters make the length of one chain?

To solve this, we start from the given conversion: 1 chain = 22 yards.
Next, convert yards to meters using the standard conversion: 1 yard = 0.9144 meters.
Compute the product: 22 yards × 0.9144 meters/yard = 20.1168 meters.
Rounding to a reasonable presentation, this is about 20.12 meters, which closely matches the option 20.1 m.
Now evaluate the other options to see why they do not fit:
- 66 m: This is far larger than the calculated length; it would correspond to roughly 72 yards, which is inconsistent with 22 yards per chain.
- 43560 m: This value is vastly too large and resembles the number often seen in area conversions (e.g., square feet per acre), not a linear chain length.
- 24.1 m: While closer than 66 m, it overshoots the precise conversion of 20.1168 m by about 4 meters, which is not correct for 22 yards.
By comparing all options against the exact conversion, 20.1 m is the only choice that aligns with 1 chain equaling 22 yards converted to meters, within typical rounding.
