How to Convert 28.8 Kilometers to Centimeters
To convert a measurement in kilometers to centimeters, you need to multiply the length by the conversion factor of 100,000. This is because there are 100,000 centimeters in a kilometer.
Formula:
\[ \text{Length in centimeters} = \text{Length in kilometers} \times 100,000 \]
So, to convert 28.8 kilometers to centimeters:
\[ 28.8 \text{ km} \times 100,000 = 2,880,000 \text{ cm} \]
Therefore, 28.8 kilometers is equal to 2,880,000 centimeters.
