Answer:

False

Kilometer

Explanation:

First Question:

1 km = 1000 m

2 km = 2 * 1 km = 2 * 1000 m = 2000 m

Centennial Park is 2 km = 2,000 m away.

Canatara Park is 2,548 meters away.

Since 2,548 > 2,000, Canatara Park is farther away than Centennial Park.

Answer: False

Second Question:

A distance from a home to a store is usually measured in kilometers.
