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 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).
To convert between Rod (rd) and Meter (m), use the following formulas:
1 Rod (rd) = 5.0292 Meter (m)
1 Meter (m) = 0.19883878151594686 Rod (rd)
1 rd = 1 * 5.0292 m = 5.0292 m
2 rd = 2 * 5.0292 m = 10.0584 m
5 rd = 5 * 5.0292 m = 25.146 m
10 rd = 10 * 5.0292 m = 50.292 m
20 rd = 20 * 5.0292 m = 100.584 m
50 rd = 50 * 5.0292 m = 251.46 m
