Common Length Conversions Metric Length Conversions Unit Definition (furlong [survey]) A furlong is a measure of distance within Imperial units and U.S. customary units. Although its definition has varied historically, in modern terms it equals 660 feet or 220 yards, and is therefore equal to 201.168 metres. There are ten chains in a furlong and eight furlongs in a mile. The name "furlong" derives from the Old English words furh (furrow) and lang (long). Unit Definition (mkono [Africa]) The mkono is a traditional unit of distance in East Africa, standardized under British rule as 1/2 yard (18 inches, or 45.72 centimeters). This unit is an African version of the cubit.
