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 Foot (ft) is commonly used in the United States and other countries for measuring medium distances. For example, the height of a table is about 3 feet, a door is usually 6.5 feet tall, and a basketball hoop is 10 feet high. It’s widely used in construction, real estate, and everyday life.
To convert between Rod (rd) and Foot (ft), use the following formulas:
1 Rod (rd) = 16.5 Foot (ft)
1 Foot (ft) = 0.06060606060606061 Rod (rd)
1 rd = 1 * 16.5 ft = 16.5 ft
2 rd = 2 * 16.5 ft = 33 ft
5 rd = 5 * 16.5 ft = 82.5 ft
10 rd = 10 * 16.5 ft = 165 ft
20 rd = 20 * 16.5 ft = 330 ft
50 rd = 50 * 16.5 ft = 825 ft
