Rope is an informal, non-standard unit referring roughly to the length of a rope or line and varies depending on the context.

What is a statute league?

A statute league is a historical unit equal to three statute miles, once used to describe land and coastal distances in English-speaking regions.

Can I use this conversion for precise engineering measurements?

No, because rope lengths are informal and statute leagues are obsolete, this conversion is best suited for approximate interpretation.
