| 1 dutch rood | = | 23,040 ft.sq.lk. |
| 1 dutch acre | = | 10 dutch sq.ch. | (1 dutch acre = 4 dutch po. x 40 dutch po.) |
| 1 dutch ml. | = | 60 right angle 3 x 4 x 5 triangles, 4 unit (the 128 ft.) sides laid end to end |
| 60 dutch ml. per hr. | = | 128 ft. per sec. |
| 1 dutch ml. | = | 7680 ft. | (80 x 96' = 7680')(60 x 128' = 7680')(48 x 160' = 7680') |
| 32' | = | 1 dutch ch. right angle triangle (24' x 32' x 40') perpendicular |
| 7680' | = | 240 dutch ch. right angle triangle (24' x 32' x 40') perpendiculars |
| 92,160 sq.' | = | 240 dutch ch. right angle triangle (24' x 32' x 40') areas |
| 92,160 sq.' | = | 1 dutch acre |
| 23,040 sq.' | = | 60 dutch ch. right angle triangle (24' x 32' x 40') areas |
| 23,040 sq.' | = | 1 dutch rood |
| 1 dutch sq. mile | = | 640 dutch acres | (6400 dutch sq.ch.) |

| 96 ft.lk. | = | 24 ft. + 32 ft. + 40 ft. | (96 ft.) (1 dutch ch.) |
| 96 ft.lk. | = | 1 dut.po. + 1 1/3 dut.po. + 1 2/3 dut.po. | (4 dutch po.) |
| 1 dutch po. | = | 24 ft.lk. | (24 ft.) |
| 96 ft.lk. | = | 24 ft.lk. + 32 ft.lk. + 40 ft.lk. | (32 yd.) (16 fth.) |
| 96 ft.lk. | = | 3x8 ft.lk. + 4x8 ft.lk. + 5x8 ft.lk. = 1 dutch ch. | (r/angle 3 x 4 x 5 triangle) |
| 7680 ft.lk. | = | 60 x 4 x 4 x 8 ft.lk. | (1 dutch ml.) |
| 7680 ft.lk. | = | 60 x 4 x 1 1/3 dutch po. | (320 dutch po.) |
| 7680 ft.lk. | = | 60 x 4 x 32 ft. | (7680 ft.) |
| 12 in. | = | 3 in. + 4 in. + 5 in. | (1 ft.) |
| 92160 in. | = | 60 x 384 x 4 in. | (1 dutch ml.) |
