Answer:

183.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A chain is a unit of length and it has the length of 66 ft. To calculate the value of each pace .

we have to get the value of each pace by dividing the length of the chain by the pace.

Therefore,

each pace = length of chain/18

each pace = 66/18

each pace = 3.67 ft

The value of each pace = 3.67 ft

How many ft has john walked , that is from point A and B.

He walks 50 paces

Therefore,

each pace is 3.67 ft that means 50 paces will be

50 × 3.67 ft

183.5 ft
