To write:the metric unit of length for the given objects.
Answer to Problem 43P
The distance between statecapitals should be measured in kilometer
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Distance between state capitals.
Calculation:
The objective is to write metric unit for distance between two state capitals.
There are 2 systems for measurement, one is customary system and other is metric system.
Customary has been used historically for various measurements, while metric system is widely accepted due to ease of calculations.
Various units of length in metric system are millimeter, centimeter, meter, kilometer etc.
The reason for its popularity is ease of conversion factors.
State capitals are quite far apart. Distance between capitals of big states like Texas is even larger than many countries, which are measured in kilometers.
Thus, due to large distances involved, it is reasonable to say that distance between state capitals should be measured in kilometer
Conclusion:
Hence, the distance between state capitals should be measured in kilometer
