Depends on where the vehicle is sold. A car intended for a market where miles are used will show miles and maybe tenth of miles(for the trip odo). A car intended for a market that uses the metric system will show kilometers and tenths of kilometers(for the trip odo). Modern cars with digital displays can often be easily reset from one to the other.

I would like to know what kind of distance does the calculator measure?
The distance calculator works by using the Global Positioning System to calculate the distance between two positions on the earth. The calculator can measure in yards but there are different calculators and calculators with different settings that have different measuring units.
Which units of measurement would be the best for you use to measure the following distances?
It depends on the distance length; for example:long distances (as between cities); using kilometersmoderate distances (as buildings and rooms); using meterssmall distances (as clothing); using centimetersvery small distances (as small pipes); using millimetersextremely small distances (as for atoms and nuclii); using Angestrom and Fermi units (order of 10-10 or smaller)
What is 18 cm equal to using metric units?
18 centimetres is a metric measure.
How does Mexico measure length and distance?
Using the Metric System: meters, kilometers.
What items would you measure using feet?
Foot (pl. feet) is an obsolete, non-SI, Brtish unit for distance (length). You can measure any distance (generally short) or length.
What is 86.22 inches?
It is a measure of length or distance, using the old Imperial units.
What is a sentence using the word odometer in it?
Plan to use the vehicle odometer to keep track of distance traveled.
How do you measure units of electricity?
by using watts
How to measure length?
An odometer measures distance traveled by a wheeled vehicle. There are various tools, mostly optical or electronic such as radar, that measure distance from a fixed point. A ruler is often used to measure distance on a map, converting the measurement to the scale found on the map legend.
Definition of linear dimension?
For example, on a number line (which is one dimensional object), we measure the distance of two points in units. For example, the distance between 2 and 4 is 2 units. Any nth side of a polygon, can be measured by using linear units, such as cm, in., ft, km, etc. The circumference of a circle, the length of an arc, also are measured by linear units. A unit that is used to measure the distance between two points, is called linear dimension.

The distance calculator works by using the Global Positioning System to calculate the distance between two positions on the earth. The calculator can measure in yards but there are different calculators and calculators with different settings that have different measuring units.
How do you measure length?
You measure length in many ways: using a ruler or yardstick, using a string or tape measure, using a machine to drive or fly over a distance, or using a satellite. Length is measured in units such as centimeters, meters, kilometers, or inches, yards and miles.
Why do you need to measure physical quantities and express them using the appropriate units?
to know what is the measure
Why cubic units are used to measure volume instead of linear units or square units?
We measure length in one direction using standard units. Whether it's feet, meters or light years, it's 1-dimensional. Area is a 2-dimentional concept. It's the distance in one direction and the distance in another direction. Distance times distance is the units times the units, or units squared (units2). We see square centimeters, square feet, or square kilometers as well as other units used to measure this 2-dimentional characteristic. Volume is defined as the amount of space something takes up. Space is a 3-dimensional concept, so a 3-dimensional units are required. You've already guessed that's where cubic inches, cubic centimeters or cubic kilometers (units3) is used to measure this 3-dimentional characteristic.
What do you measure using units called hertz?
wave frequency.
How can you find the measure of a distance without measure it directly?
By using the distance formula between two coordinated points
How do you measure the distance to the moon using light?
By using the triangulation method
