    The millimetre (SI symbol: mm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 103 metres (⁠ 1 / 1 000 ⁠ m = 0.001 m). To help compare different orders of magnitude, this section lists lengths between 103 m and 10 −2 m (1 mm and 1 cm). 1.0 mm – 1/1,000 of a meter; 1.0 mm – 0.03937 inches or 5/127 (exactly)

  7. Rod (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_(unit)

    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. An acre is therefore 160 square ...
