What is a famn used for?

A famn is a maritime unit of length equal to one fathom, primarily used to measure water depth, lengths of shipboard equipment, and in historical coastal surveys.

Why does vara de tarea vary in length?

Vara de tarea was used in different localities with varying definitions, so its magnitude changes depending on the regional and historical context.

Can I use this conversion for legal property boundaries?

You should verify local historical standards because conversions are approximate and regional differences may affect legal or engineering applications.
