Centimeter

A centimeter (cm) is a unit of length in the metric system. It is commonly used to measure small objects or short distances. One centimeter is equal to one-hundredth of a meter, meaning 100 centimeters make 1 meter. In everyday life, centimeters are used to measure height, the size of books, or dimensions of furniture. For example, a pencil might be about 15 cm long. The symbol for centimeter is "cm", and it is widely used around the world, especially in countries that follow the metric system. Rulers and measuring tapes often include centimeter markings to help with precise measurements. The centimeter is a practical and easy-to-use unit that helps in getting accurate sizes for various items.

Chain

A chain is a unit of length traditionally used in land surveying. The most common version is the Gunter’s chain, which equals 66 feet or 22 yards, approximately 20.1168 meters.

The chain was introduced by English clergyman Edmund Gunter in the 17th century to simplify land measurement. One chain consists of 100 links, each 0.66 feet long. It became a standard unit in British and American land surveying and was instrumental in defining land areas, especially in the U.S. Public Land Survey System.

Key Conversions:

1 chain = 66 feet
1 chain = 22 yards
1 chain ≈ 20.1168 meters
10 chains = 1 furlong
80 chains = 1 mile

Though now largely replaced by metric units and modern surveying tools, the chain still appears in older land deeds, maps, and rural property descriptions.
