How many miles is 78k?
Miles is the imperial unit of measuring distances. Kilometers or meters is the metric unit. 1 mile is 1.6093 km. So to convert km to miles, we divide by 1.6093. The corresponding distance in miles is 48.46
2K is how many miles?

How many miles is 624Km?
Miles is the imperial unit of measuring distances. Kilometers or meters is the metric unit. 1 mile is 1.6093 km. So to convert km to miles, we divide by 1.6093. The corresponding distance in miles is 387.73
How many miles in 85K?
Miles is the imperial unit of measuring distances. Kilometers or meters is the metric unit. 1 mile is 1.6093 km. So to convert km to miles, we divide by 1.6093. The corresponding distance in miles is 3.63501 mile = 1.609 kilometers5.85 km = 5.85/1.609 miles = 3.636 miles
True or false Triangulation is the preferred method of calculation for all astronomical distances?
That statement is both true and false.Sure, triangulation is the preferred method, if it works. But for anythingmore distant than a few hundred of the nearest stars, triangulation fails,so we're forced to find other ways of measuring farther objects.And by the way ... triangulation is a method of measurement, not calculation.
