Question

a measurement on a drawing states that a distance is 20 meters. what is the same distance in centimeters?
oa. 200 cm
ob. 2,000 cm
oc. 720 cm
od. 2 cm

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the conversion formula

We know that \(1\) meter \( = 100\) centimeters.

Step2: Convert meters to centimeters

If the distance is \(d = 20\) meters, using the conversion formula \(d_{cm}=d_{m}\times100\), we substitute \(d_{m} = 20\) into the formula. So \(d_{cm}=20\times100\).

$$20\times100 = 2000$$

Answer:

B. \(2000\) cm
