1 CHAIN = 4 RODS = 66 FEET
Therefore 1 ROD = 16.5 FEET
(There are 320 rods per mile).

A rod is a unit of length, equal to 11 cubits, 5.0292 metres, 16.5 feet, or 1⁄320 of a statute mile. A rod is the same length as a perch[1] and a pole. The lengths of the perch (one rod) and chain (four rods) were standardized in 1607 by Edmund Gunter.

Just go to Google and type "feet in 1 rod" You will get the answer. Use this same procedure for any conversion problem.
