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. Primarily used in horse racing (UK/US). 1 furlong = 660 feet = 1/8 mile.
To convert between Rod (rd) and Furlong (fur), use the following formulas:
1 Rod (rd) = 0.025 Furlong (fur)
1 Furlong (fur) = 40 Rod (rd)
1 rd = 1 * 0.025 fur = 0.025 fur
2 rd = 2 * 0.025 fur = 0.05 fur
5 rd = 5 * 0.025 fur = 0.125 fur
10 rd = 10 * 0.025 fur = 0.25 fur
20 rd = 20 * 0.025 fur = 0.5 fur
50 rd = 50 * 0.025 fur = 1.25 fur
Rod (rd) | Furlong (fur) |
---|---|
1 rd | 0.025 fur |
2 rd | 0.05 fur |
5 rd | 0.125 fur |
10 rd | 0.25 fur |
20 rd | 0.5 fur |
50 rd | 1.25 fur |
