Answer:

273.9 fathom

Step-by-step explanation:

Fathom (ftm) and rod are the units of length used in the imperial and the U.S. customary systems.

Fathom is an unit used for the measurement of depth of water. It is equal to 1.8288 m.

Rod, also known as perch or pole, is equal to 5.0292 m.

∵ 1 fathom = 0.364 rod

and 1 rod = 2.75 fathom

∴ 99.6 rod = 99.6 × 2.75 fathom = 273.9 fathom

Therefore, maximum depth of Lake Tahoe = 99.6 rod = 273.9 fathom
