Which of the following measurements is equivalent to 5,280 feet?

One mile
Ten kilometers
Five acres
Two kilometers

The correct answer is: One mile

Five thousand two hundred eighty feet is equivalent to one mile. This conversion stems from the definition that there are 5,280 feet in one mile, making it a standard measurement in the customary system used in the United States. The other options do not correspond to this specific measurement. For instance, ten kilometers is approximately 6,213.71 feet, which is longer than a mile. Similarly, five acres refers to a unit of area and does not translate directly into a linear measurement like feet or miles. Two kilometers, which is about 1,242.74 feet, is also shorter than one mile. Thus, option A is the only correct answer as it accurately reflects the standard measurement of distance.
