Convert parsec to myriameter
Learn how to convert
1
parsec to
myriameter
step by step.
Calculation Breakdown
Set up the equation
\(1.0\left(parsec\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(myriameter\right)\)
Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit \(\left(meter\right)\)
\(\text{Left side: 1.0 } \left(parsec\right) = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 3.08567400801506 \times 10^{16}\left(meter\right)} = {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 3.08567400801506 \times 10^{16}\left(m\right)}\)
\(\text{Right side: 1.0 } \left(myriameter\right) = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 10^{4}\left(meter\right)} = {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 10^{4}\left(m\right)}\)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\(1.0\left(parsec\right)={\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\left(myriameter\right)\)
\(\text{Insert known values } =>\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 3.08567400801506 \times 10^{16}} \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(meter\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 10^{4}}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(meter\right)}\)
\(\text{Or}\)
\(1.0 \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 3.08567400801506 \times 10^{16}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \left(m\right)} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 10^{4}} \cdot {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \left(m\right)}\)
\(\text{Cancel SI units}\)
\(1.0 \times {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} 3.08567400801506 \times 10^{16}} \cdot {\color{rgb(89,182,91)} \cancel{\left(m\right)}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} 10^{4}} \times {\color{rgb(125,164,120)} \cancel{\left(m\right)}}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(3.08567400801506 \times 10^{16} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times 10^{4}\)
Cancel factors on both sides
\(\text{Cancel factors}\)
\(3.08567400801506 \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancelto{10^{12}}{10^{16}}} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} \times {\color{rgb(255,204,153)} \cancel{10^{4}}}\)
\(\text{Simplify}\)
\(3.08567400801506 \times 10^{12} = {\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
Switch sides
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x} = 3.08567400801506 \times 10^{12}\)
Solve \({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\)
\({\color{rgb(20,165,174)} x}\approx3.085674008 \times 10^{12}\approx3.0857 \times 10^{12}\)
\(\text{Conversion Equation}\)
\(1.0\left(parsec\right)\approx{\color{rgb(20,165,174)} 3.0857 \times 10^{12}}\left(myriameter\right)\)
