About this conversion
Pre-metric Vietnam used a decimal ladder on the thước ruler: the phân at about 0.004m, the tấc at about 0.04m, the thước itself at about 0.4m, the ngũ of 5 thước at about 2m and the trượng of 10 thước at about 4m (Paul Doumer unified the thước ta at 0.40m in 1898).
Values verified from the UN 1966 World Weights and Measures handbook via Wikipedia and sizes.com. 1 trượng = 10×thước (4/0.4).
