Dimensional-analysis
A mathematical technique used to convert units of measurement without changing the dimensional or physical value.
Kilometers
A unit of length in the metric system equal to 1,000 meters, often used to measure distances.
Miles
Units of distance measuring 5,280 feet, or approximately 1.609 kilometers, commonly used in the United States.
