Use the English and metric equivalents to the right, along with dimensional analysis, to convert the given measurement to the unit indicated.
20m to yd
1 m = 1.09361 yd
20 m x (1.09361 yd/1m) = 21.8722 yd
Therefore, 20m is equal to 21.8722 yd.
To convert 20 meters to yards, we can use dimensional analysis and the conversion factor between meters and yards.
First, let's write down the given measurement:
20 m
Next, we'll set up the conversion factor with meters on the bottom and yards on the top:
1 yd = 0.9144 m
Now, we can set up our dimensional analysis equation:
20 m x (1 yd / 0.9144 m)
The meters cancel out, leaving us with:
20 / 0.9144 yd
Simplifying the fraction gives us:
21.87 yd
Therefore, 20 meters is equivalent to 21.87 yards.
