About Rod (rd) and Centimeter (cm) Units

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. The Centimeter (cm) is ideal for smaller measurements like the width of a smartphone (7-10 cm), the height of a coffee mug (10-12 cm), or the length of a pencil (15-20 cm). It's also used in crafts and construction.
