Chain (Us Survey)
A U.S. survey chain is a unit of length equal to 66 U.S. survey feet.
History/Origin
The U.S. survey chain is based on the U.S. survey foot, which was slightly different from the international foot. The use of survey units was officially phased out in 2022.
Current Use
The U.S. survey chain was used for land surveying in the United States.
Decimeter
A decimeter is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one-tenth of a meter.
History/Origin
The prefix "deci-" comes from the Latin word "decimus," meaning tenth. The decimeter was part of the original metric system adopted in France in 1795.
Current Use
The decimeter is not as commonly used in everyday life as other metric units like the centimeter or meter, but it is sometimes used in technical and scientific contexts.
