The Kilometer (km) is used for longer distances like city-to-city travel (e.g., 50 km), marathon races (42.195 km), or highway spans (e.g., 100 km). It's also used in aviation and sports like cycling. The Rod (or pole/perch) was historically used in land surveying and agriculture. Measuring exactly 16.5 feet, rods were commonly used to define property boundaries. A standard American football field is 320 rods long (including end zones). This unit still appears in some property deeds and agricultural measurements.
To convert between Kilometer (km) and Rod (rd), use the following formulas:
1 Kilometer (km) = 198.83878151594686 Rod (rd)
1 Rod (rd) = 0.0050292 Kilometer (km)
0.5 km = 0.5 * 198.83878151594686 rd = 99.41939075797343 rd
3 km = 3 * 198.83878151594686 rd = 596.5163445478406 rd
7 km = 7 * 198.83878151594686 rd = 1391.871470611628 rd
45 km = 45 * 198.83878151594686 rd = 8947.745168217609 rd
89 km = 89 * 198.83878151594686 rd = 17696.65155491927 rd
