The kilometer (km) is a unit of length in the metric system, symbolized by "km". It is equal to 1,000 meters and is commonly used to measure longer distances. The kilometer originated from the metric system, developed in France during the late 18th century. The metric system was designed to provide a universal and decimal-based system of measurement, making calculations simpler and more consistent. Kilometers are widely used worldwide, especially in countries that follow the metric system. They are frequently employed to measure distances between geographical locations, such as the distance between cities or the length of roads. The yard (symbol: yd) is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. One yard is equal to 3 feet or 36 inches, which is approximately 0.9144 meters. The yard has been used as a unit of measurement since medieval times, with its length originally based on the girth of a person's waist. The modern yard was standardized in the 19th century to ensure consistency in trade and engineering. Yards are widely used in the United States and other countries that follow the imperial system. They are commonly used to measure lengths in sports fields, real estate, and in various construction projects. To convert from kilometers to yards, you can use the following formula: Kilometers to yards: ( \text{yards} = \text{km} \times 1,093.61 ) Convert Kilometers to Yards: Use the formula: ( \text{yards} = \text{km} \times 1,093.61 ) Calculation: ( 3 \times 1,093.61 = 3,280.83 ) yards Example 1: If you have a distance of 7 kilometers, convert it to yards using the formula (7 km (\times) 1,093.61 = 7,655.27 yards). Example 2: For a 15-kilometer measurement, convert to yards using the formula (15 km (\times) 1,093.61 = 16,404.15 yards). By following these steps, you can easily convert any measurement from kilometers to yards, ensuring accuracy and ease in your calculations.km
