Discover the ease of converting land measurements with our Square Rod to Square Dekameter Converter, designed for accuracy and simplicity.
A rod is a unit of length, equal to 5.5 yards or 16.5 feet. Historically used in land surveying, one rod is also equal to 5.0292 meters. The rod is an old English unit, used since the time of the Anglo-Saxons. It is still utilized in certain contexts, particularly in the United States in measuring plots of land.
Definition of DekameterA dekameter, or decameter, is a metric unit of length equal to ten meters. It is not as commonly used as other metric units such as meters or kilometers, but it serves a purpose when intermediate values between those measurements are needed. One dekameter is composed of 10 meters, or 1,000 centimeters.
