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 297(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) ft^2, in SI units?

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

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
