Convert point to ligne

Learn how to convert 1 point to ligne step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (p o i n t) = x (l i g n e)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(m e t e r)

Left side: 1.0 (p o i n t) = 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} (m e t e r) = 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} (m)

Right side: 1.0 (l i g n e) = \frac{0.2233275}{99.0} (m e t e r) = \frac{0.2233275}{99.0} (m)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (p o i n t) = x (l i g n e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} \times (m e t e r) = x \times \frac{0.2233275}{99.0} \times (m e t e r)

Or

1.0 \cdot 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} \cdot (m) = x \cdot \frac{0.2233275}{99.0} \cdot (m)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} \cdot (m) = x \times \frac{0.2233275}{99.0} \times (m)

Conversion Equation

2.54 \times 10^{- 5} = x \times \frac{0.2233275}{99.0}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{0.2233275}{99.0} = 2.54 \times 10^{- 5}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{99.0}{0.2233275})

x \times \frac{0.2233275}{99.0} \times \frac{99.0}{0.2233275} = 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} \times \frac{99.0}{0.2233275}

Cancel

x \times \frac{0.2233275 \times 99.0}{99.0 \times 0.2233275} = 2.54 \times 10^{- 5} \times \frac{99.0}{0.2233275}

Simplify

x = \frac{2.54 \times 10^{- 5} \times 99.0}{0.2233275}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0112596971 \approx 1.126 \times 10^{- 2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (p o i n t) \approx 1.126 \times 10^{- 2} (l i g n e)
