What are Rod and Hectometer

A rod is a unit of length, equal to 5.5 yards, 16.5 feet, or exactly 5.0292 meters. Historically used in land measurement, one rod is 1/320 of a mile or 1/4 of a chain. Rods were often used in conjunction with other units like chains and acres, playing a significant role in surveying land areas.

A hectometer, a less commonly used metric unit of length, is equal to 100 meters or one-tenth of a kilometer. It derives its name from the Greek 'hekaton' meaning 'hundred' and 'metron' meaning 'measure'. Hectometers are not widely employed in daily measurements but are sometimes used in contexts where intermediate distances larger than a meter but smaller than a kilometer are needed.
