The Yard (yd) is often used in sports and fabric measurements. A football field is 100 yards long, a yardstick is 1 yard, and a swimming pool can be around 25 yards in length. It’s a common unit in the United States and the UK for measuring land and fabrics. 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.
To convert between Yard (yd) and Rod (rd), use the following formulas:
1 Yard (yd) = 0.1818181818181818 Rod (rd)
1 Rod (rd) = 5.5 Yard (yd)
1 yd = 1 * 0.1818181818181818 rd = 0.1818181818181818 rd
2 yd = 2 * 0.1818181818181818 rd = 0.3636363636363636 rd
5 yd = 5 * 0.1818181818181818 rd = 0.909090909090909 rd
10 yd = 10 * 0.1818181818181818 rd = 1.818181818181818 rd
20 yd = 20 * 0.1818181818181818 rd = 3.636363636363636 rd
50 yd = 50 * 0.1818181818181818 rd = 9.09090909090909 rd
100 yd = 100 * 0.1818181818181818 rd = 18.18181818181818 rd
