Rod (rd). A rod (also called a pole or perch) is 16.5 feet (5.0292 m), an old land-measurement unit.
Chain (ch). A chain is 66 feet (20.1168 m), a surveying unit; 80 chains make one mile.
There are 0.25 chains in one rod.
Multiply the number of rods by 0.25. For example, 10 rods equal 2.5 chains.
One chain equals 4 rods.
3 chains. Other common values: 5 rods = 1.25 chains and 100 rods = 25 chains.
