Question: what measurement is a furlong I found the following answer on Google: Since the original definition of the metre was one-quarter of one ten-millionth of the circumference of the Earth (along the great circle coincident with the meridian of longitude passing through Paris), the circumference of the Earth is about 40,000 km or about 200,000 furlongs. Is that a correct answer? Yes or no.
The answer to this question is:
No
