What are Hectometer and Rod

Definition of Hectometer

A hectometer is a unit of length in the metric system, equivalent to one hundred meters. It is not commonly used in everyday measurements but is applied in land area calculations where larger metric units are required. The term 'hectometer' stems from the combination of 'hecto-', meaning hundred in Greek, and 'meter', the base unit for length in the metric system.

Definition of Rod

A rod, also known as a pole or perch, is a historical unit of length that was used in land measurements. One rod is equal to 5.5 yards, 16.5 feet, or exactly 5.0292 meters. Although rods are largely outdated in modern measurements, they are still utilized in certain contexts, such as in the surveying of rural lands and in the measurement of fishing rods.
