This question is incomplete, the complete question is;
To convert from the U.S. Customary (FPS) system of units to the SI system of units. A first-year engineering student records three separate measurements as 653 lb, 69.0 mi/h, and 293 × 10⁶ ft². Suppose this engineering student has to turn in the results, but the professor only accepts results given in SI units.
Required:
What is the area measurement, 293 × 10⁶ ft², in SI units?
293 × 10⁶ ft² = ?km²
Answer:
the area measurement is 27.221 km²
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
What is the area measurement, 293 × 10⁶ ft², in SI units
we are to the result of the measured area from ft² to km²
we know that;
1 meter = 3.2808 ft
1 km = 1000 m
1 ft = (1 / 3.2808)m
1 m = ( 1/1000 ) km
since our measured are is 293 × 10⁶ ft²
hence
A = 293 × 10⁶ × [ (1 / 3.2808)m ]²
A = 27221252.74 m²
A = 27221252.74 × [ ( 1/1000 ) km ]²
A = 27.221 km²
Therefore, the area measurement is 27.221 km²
