Aerospace Dimensions Module 2 Practice Exam

A unit of length that is approximately 6076 feet.

Map Tick Statute Mile Nautical Mile

Correct Answer:

Nautical Mile

Explanation:

In navigation, distances are often given in nautical miles. A nautical mile is defined as 1,852 meters, which is about 6,076 feet. So a length close to 6,076 feet corresponds to one nautical mile. To see the difference, a statute mile is 5,280 feet, so it’s smaller than 6,076 feet. The other options aren’t units of length: a map is a visual representation, and a tick isn’t a standard length unit. Therefore, the unit that matches approximately 6,076 feet is the nautical mile.
