The length of 22 cha is approximately 1.1 meters.
Since 1 cha equals 0.05 meters, multiplying 22 by 0.05 gives us the total length. Therefore, 22 cha converts to 22 × 0.05 = 1.1 meters, providing a straightforward way to translate traditional Chinese length units into metric system measurements.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert cha to length is simple: Length in meters = number of cha × 0.05. This works because the traditional unit cha equals 0.05 meters. For example, to convert 10 cha, multiply 10 by 0.05, resulting in 0.5 meters. This consistent ratio makes conversions predictable and easy to perform manually or with calculators.
Conversion Example
- Convert 15 cha to meters:
- Step 1: Write down the conversion factor: 0.05 meters per cha.
- Step 2: Multiply 15 by 0.05: 15 × 0.05 = 0.75 meters.
- Result: 15 cha equals 0.75 meters.
- Convert 5 cha to meters:
- Step 1: Use the conversion factor of 0.05 meters per cha.
- Step 2: Multiply 5 by 0.05: 5 × 0.05 = 0.25 meters.
- Result: 5 cha is 0.25 meters.
- Convert 30 cha to meters:
- Step 1: Use the ratio 0.05 meters per cha.
- Step 2: 30 × 0.05 = 1.5 meters.
- Result: 30 cha equal 1.5 meters.

Conversion Definitions
“Cha” is a traditional East Asian unit of length, historically used in China, Korea, and Japan, measuring approximately 0.05 meters, though its length varied regionally. It was often employed in architecture, land measurement, and everyday descriptions of distances.
“Length” refers to the measurement or extent of something from end to end in a straight line. It is a fundamental dimension in physics and geometry, used universally to describe how long objects or distances are, regardless of the units of measurement chosen.
Conversion FAQs
How accurate is the conversion from cha to meters for small distances?
The conversion from cha to meters using the factor 0.05 meters per cha is precise for most practical purposes, but slight variations may occur due to regional differences in the exact length of a cha. For everyday use, it provides a reliable estimate.
Can I use this conversion for other traditional units similar to cha?
This specific conversion applies directly to the cha unit. For other units like the cun or chi, different conversion factors are used. Always verify the specific value of each traditional unit before converting.
Why does the conversion factor of 0.05 meters per cha work universally?
The 0.05 meters per cha standard stems from historical measurements adopted in modern metric equivalents for consistency. While actual lengths might have varied historically, this standardized value simplifies conversions and calculations today.
Is the conversion factor the same in all East Asian countries?
Most countries using the cha still rely on the 0.05 meters standard, but regional differences existed historically. For precise measurements, verify local standards, especially in traditional contexts or older documents.
