About pole and centimetre
Pole: A pole is the same length as a rod or perch — 16.5 feet (5.0292 m).
Centimetre: A centimetre is one-hundredth of a metre — the everyday small-length metric unit.
The metric units (km, m, cm, mm, µm) are exact by definition, and the imperial units (mile, yard, foot, inch, nautical mile) use their exact international values. Traditional units (hand, span, finger, cubit, rod/pole, link, rope, ken, league) are given at their commonly accepted standard sizes — historical local values sometimes differed, so confirm against a primary source before relying on them for legal or historical work.
