    It would be exactly 1 km if the original definition of 1 metre = 1 ⁄ 10,000 quarter-meridian had been adhered to. One disadvantage is that common angles like 30° and 60° are expressed by fractional values ( 33 + 1 ⁄ 3 and 66 + 2 ⁄ 3 respectively) so this "decimal" unit failed to displace the "sexagesimal" units equilateral-vertex ...
