About rod and mile

Rod: A rod (also called a perch or pole) is 16.5 feet, exactly 5.0292 m; 4 rods make a chain.

Mile: A mile is 5,280 feet (1,760 yards), exactly 1,609.344 m — the imperial/US road-distance 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.
