About Rod (rd) and Mile (mi) 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 Mile (mi) is commonly used in the United States and the UK for road distances (e.g., 10 mi to the next town), marathon running (26.2 mi), and aviation. It's also used in athletics (e.g., 4-minute mile) and car speed limits (mph).
