League To Rod (Lea To Rd) Converter

The League To Rod (Lea To Rd) Converter is a handy tool designed to help users easily convert measurements from leagues to rods. This is useful in various fields such as surveying, land measurement, and historical research where these units are commonly used.

A league is a unit of distance that traditionally measures about 3 miles or approximately 4.828 kilometers. It was commonly used in maritime and land navigation. One league equals 3 miles, which can also be expressed as:

1 league = 3 miles

A rod, also known as a pole or perch, is a smaller unit of measurement primarily used in land surveying. One rod is equal to 16.5 feet or 5.5 yards. The conversion between miles and rods is based on the fact that:

1 mile = 80 rods

To convert from leagues to rods, the formula is straightforward. Since 1 league equals 3 miles, and 1 mile equals 80 rods, then:

Number of rods = Number of leagues × 3 miles/leagues × 80 rods/mile

Putting it all together, the simplified formula for conversion is:

Rods = Leagues × 240

Using this converter, you simply input the number of leagues, and it will automatically calculate the equivalent distance in rods, making your measurements quick and accurate. Whether you’re working on land plots, historical maps, or navigation tasks, this tool simplifies the process of converting these traditional units.
