Examples

1

Consider that a print layout uses 12 picas for the width of a column.
Convert this width from picas to Kilometers.

Answer:

Given:

The length in pica is:

Length(Pica) = 12

Formula:

The formula to convert length from pica to kilometers is:

Length(Kilometers) = Length(Pica) / 236220.47244

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Pica) = 12 in the above formula.

Length(Kilometers) = 12 / 236220.47244

Length(Kilometers) = 0.0000508000000002

Final Answer:

Therefore, 12 pica is equal to 0.0000508000000002 km.

The length is 0.0000508000000002 km, in kilometers.

2

Consider that a typesetter measures a line of text to be 6 picas long.
Convert this length from picas to Kilometers.

Answer:

Given:

The length in pica is:

Length(Pica) = 6

Formula:

The formula to convert length from pica to kilometers is:

Length(Kilometers) = Length(Pica) / 236220.47244

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Pica) = 6 in the above formula.

Length(Kilometers) = 6 / 236220.47244

Length(Kilometers) = 0.0000254000000001

Final Answer:

Therefore, 6 pica is equal to 0.0000254000000001 km.

The length is 0.0000254000000001 km, in kilometers.

Pica

A pica is a unit of length used primarily in typography and printing. One pica is equivalent to 1/6 of an inch or approximately 4.233 millimeters.

The pica is defined as 12 points, with one point being 1/72 of an inch. It is used to measure the size of type, line length, and spacing in printed materials.

Picas are commonly used in the printing and graphic design industries to ensure consistency in text layout and design. The unit provides a standard measurement for various typographic and layout tasks.

Kilometers

A kilometer (km) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 0.6214 miles. One kilometer is one thousand meters.

The prefix "kilo-" means one thousand. A kilometer is defined by 1000 times the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 seconds. This definition may change, but a kilometer will always be one thousand meters.

Kilometers are used to measure distances on land in most countries. However, the United States and the United Kingdom still often use miles. The UK has adopted the metric system, but miles are still used on road signs.
