      Length tells us how long something is. The distance between two points is called length.
                         The standard unit of length is the metre. 1 km = 1000 m and 1 m = 100 cm.

                         Shorter distances are measured in cm and m, while km is used for measuring larger
                           distances.

                           route. The distance between two locations placed next to each other is given.

                           a.  Which route should the car take — Home to Shopping Mall via Temple or

                                 Home to Shopping Mall via Bank?                                     _________________

                           b.  How much more distance will the car cover if Sania takes the longer route?
