a line segment is 1000 millimeters long . what is the length of the segment in centimeters
1 centimeter = 10 millimeters
100
Right.
To find the length of the line segment in centimeters, you need to convert the length from millimeters to centimeters.
Since there are 10 millimeters in a centimeter, you can divide the length in millimeters by 10 to get the length in centimeters.
So, to find the length of the line segment in centimeters:
Length in centimeters = Length in millimeters / 10
In this case, the length of the line segment is 1000 millimeters.
Length in centimeters = 1000 / 10 = 100 centimeters.
Therefore, the length of the line segment is 100 centimeters.
