Perch To Tsubo (perch to tsubo) Converter

The Perch to Tsubo Converter is a handy tool for converting between two historical units of area measurement, primarily used in different regions. Understanding these units and their relationship is crucial for interpreting historical documents, land records, or even for those interested in the evolution of measurement systems.

A Perch, also known as a rod or pole, is an older unit of length and area. As a unit of area, it is defined as the area of a square with sides of one Perch in length. The length of a Perch varied historically, but a common value is 16.5 feet. Therefore, a square Perch (area) is typically 16.5 feet × 16.5 feet = 272.25 square feet. The symbol for a square Perch is often written as pr² or rd².

The Tsubo is a traditional Japanese unit of area. It is defined as the area of two tatami mats. A standard tatami mat is approximately 1.82 meters by 0.91 meters. Therefore, a Tsubo is approximately 1.82 meters × 1.82 meters = 3.3124 square meters. To convert from Perch to Tsubo, you would first convert the area in Perch to a common unit like square feet or square meters, and then convert that value to Tsubo. Since 1 meter is approximately 3.28084 feet, 1 square meter is approximately 10.7639 square feet. Thus, 1 Tsubo is roughly 3.3124 m² × 10.7639 ft²/m² ≈ 35.658 square feet. To convert Perch to Tsubo, you would divide the area in square feet (272.25 ft² per Perch) by the number of square feet per Tsubo (approximately 35.658 ft²/Tsubo). Therefore, 1 Perch ≈ 272.25 ft² / 35.658 ft²/Tsubo ≈ 7.635 Tsubo.
