Convert pole to metre
Pole
A pole is a traditional English unit of length equal to a rod or perch, measuring 16½ feet or exactly 5.0292 metres. The term derives from the physical measuring pole or staff used by surveyors to lay out distances in the field. Together with the furlong and acre, the pole was fundamental to the agricultural and land measurement system of medieval and early modern England.
Metre
The metre (Commonwealth spelling and BIPM spelling) or metre (American spelling) (from the French unit mètre, from the Greek noun μετρούν, "measure") is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). The SI unit symbol is m. The metre is defined as the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.
The metre was originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole along a great circle, so the Earth's circumference is approximately 40000 km. In 1799, the metre was redefined in terms of a prototype metre bar (the actual bar used was changed in 1889). In 1960, the metre was redefined in terms of a certain number of wavelengths of a certain emission line of krypton-86. In 1983, the current definition was adopted.
