Rod (rd). A rod (also called a pole or perch) is 16.5 feet (5.0292 m), an old land-measurement unit.
Fathom (ftm). A fathom is 6 feet (1.8288 m), traditionally used to measure the depth of water.
There are 2.75 fathoms in one rod.
Multiply the number of rods by 2.75. For example, 10 rods equal 27.5 fathoms.
One fathom equals 0.363636 rods.
33 fathoms. Other common values: 5 rods = 13.75 fathoms and 100 rods = 275 fathoms.
