Description

Square Chain (ch²)

The square chain is a historical unit of area measurement, primarily used in land surveying. One square chain is defined as the area of a square with sides measuring one chain (66 feet) each, equating to 4,356 square feet or approximately 404.686 square meters.

This unit was commonly employed in the United States and other countries that used the imperial system, especially for agricultural and land division purposes. Although modern surveying has largely transitioned to metric units, understanding the square chain is essential for interpreting historical land records and legal documents.

In contemporary contexts, the square chain is occasionally referenced in rural property descriptions and by professionals dealing with land assessment and historical property boundaries.

Understanding the Square Foot (ft²)

A square foot (ft²) is a unit of area equal to 144 square inches or approximately 0.093 square meters. It's widely used in the United States for measuring residential and commercial spaces.

For example, an apartment listed as 1,000 square feet offers approximately 93 square meters of living space. This unit is integral to real estate and architectural planning.
