| Convert from square chain [Gunter, survey] to manzana [Argentina] |
Unit Definition (square chain [Gunter, survey]) The square chain [Gunter, survey] is a traditional unit of area in English surveying, defined to be the area of a square whose side equals Gunter's chain (4 rods or 22 yards). Thus the square chain equals 16 square rods, 484 square yards, 4356 square feet, or exactly 0.1 acre. Unit Definition (manzana [Argentina]) The manzana is a traditional unit of land area in Central America. The manzana is the area of a square 100 varas on a side; it thus varies according to the length of the vara. The Costa Rican manzana equals 0.698 896 hectares or about 1.727 acres. Very similar units are used in Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. The word manzana means an apple, but the unit is probably related to manzanar, orchard.
