Solution

To determine which of the given units are equivalent, we will convert all the measurements to the same unit, preferably meters (m), and then compare their values.

  1. Convert Units to Meters:

    1. 5 mm=5×103 m=0.005 m5 \text{ mm} = 5 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m} = 0.005 \text{ m}
    2. 5 cm=5×102 m=0.05 m5 \text{ cm} = 5 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m} = 0.05 \text{ m}
    3. 5 km=5×103 m=5000 m5 \text{ km} = 5 \times 10^{3} \text{ m} = 5000 \text{ m}
    4. 50 m=50 m50 \text{ m} = 50 \text{ m}
  2. Compare the Values in Meters:

    • 5 mm=0.005 m5 \text{ mm} = 0.005 \text{ m}
    • 5 cm=0.05 m5 \text{ cm} = 0.05 \text{ m}
    • 5 km=5000 m5 \text{ km} = 5000 \text{ m}
    • 50 m=50 m50 \text{ m} = 50 \text{ m}
  3. Identify Equivalent Units:

    • Clearly, 5 mm5 \text{ mm} (0.005 m) is much less than 5 cm5 \text{ cm} (0.05 m), and both 5 km5 \text{ km} (5000 m) and 50 m50 \text{ m} (50 m) are significantly larger.
    • Therefore, no two of the options provided are equivalent, as all values are distinct when converted to meters.

Final Answer

None of the given units (5 mm, 5 cm, 5 km, 50 m) are equivalent.
