a perch is 5.5 yards long so your piece of land is 11 yards long

40 perches = 1 rood
4 roods = 1 acre
A perch is also a measurement of length. A perch, pole and rod are all terms for a measurement of length of approximately 5 metres (5.5 yards).

A fish!
A perch in relation to measurement? 1 perch = 5.0292meter (metric) so your bit of land is just over 10m.

A Perch equals 16.5 feet so your land is 33ft long
