The rod is useful as a unit of length because integer multiples of it can form one acre of square measure (area). The 'perfect acre' [ 2 ] is a rectangular area of 43,560 square feet, bounded by sides 660 feet (a furlong ) long and 66 feet (a chain ) wide (220 yards by 22 yards) or, equivalently, 40 rods by 4 rods.
Rood is an English unit of area equal to one quarter of an acre [2] or 10,890 square feet, exactly 1,011.7141056 m 2. A rectangle that is one furlong (i.e., 10 chains, or 40 rods) in length and one rod in width is one rood in area, as is any space comprising 40 perches (a perch being one square rod).
This edit to the lead: The 'perfect acre' is a rectangular area of 43,560 square feet, bounded by sides 660 feet (a furlong) long and 66 feet (one chain) wide (220 yards by 22 yards) or, equivalently, 40 rods and 4 rods. An acre is therefore 160 square rods (perches) or 10 square chains. The edit was reverted by Jc3s5h with the comment Redundant.

The rod is a historical unit of length equal to 5 + 1 ⁄ 2 yards. It may have originated from the typical length of a mediaeval ox-goad. There are 4 rods in one chain. The furlong (meaning furrow length) was the distance a team of oxen could plough without resting. This was standardised to be exactly 40 rods or 10 chains.
