A - B = (10i - 2j - 4k) - (i + 7j - k)
A - B = 9i - 9j - 3k
|A - B| = √(9² + (-9)² + (-3)²) = √189 = 3√19
60.96-mile distance in kilometers
Answer:
98.105610 Kilometers
Explanation:
Rounded to 8 digits
Answer:
98.11 km
Explanation:
60.96 mi (5280ft/mi)(12 in/ft)(2.54 cm/in)(1 m/ 100cm)(1 km/1000 m) = 98.10561024 km
however, reporting this precision to the nearest hundred millionth of a kilometer is silly as we only know the mile dimension to the nearest hundredth of a mile.
A hundredth of a mile is 5280/100 = 52.8 ft or just over 16 m
It would only be a little bit of a presumption to give our precision to the nearest 10 meters as I have done.
This also fits neatly into the significant digits rule. Both the original dimension and the converted dimension have four significant digits.
