The Meter (m) or (mtr) is used for everyday measurements like room dimensions (3-4 meters), the height of a door (2 meters), or the length of a car (4-5 meters). It's also used in sports, such as the height of a basketball hoop (3.05 meters). 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 Meter (m) and Rod (rd), use the following formulas:
1 Meter (m) = 0.19883878151594686 Rod (rd)
1 Rod (rd) = 5.0292 Meter (m)
1 m = 1 * 0.19883878151594686 rd = 0.19883878151594686 rd
3 m = 3 * 0.19883878151594686 rd = 0.5965163445478405 rd
5 m = 5 * 0.19883878151594686 rd = 0.9941939075797344 rd
7 m = 7 * 0.19883878151594686 rd = 1.391871470611628 rd
10 m = 10 * 0.19883878151594686 rd = 1.9883878151594687 rd
20 m = 20 * 0.19883878151594686 rd = 3.9767756303189374 rd
100 m = 100 * 0.19883878151594686 rd = 19.883878151594686 rd
