Rod (rd). A rod (also called a pole or perch) is 16.5 feet (5.0292 m), an old land-measurement unit.
There are 4 rods in one chain.
Multiply the number of chains by 4. For example, 10 chains equal 40 rods.
One rod equals 0.25 chains.
48 rods. Other common values: 5 chains = 20 rods and 100 chains = 400 rods.
