True/False

An environmental engineer is measuring a 10-kilometer (km) stretch of a river for a water quality study. True or False: To convert this distance to meters (m) using dimensional analysis, the engineer uses the conversion factor 1,000 m / 1 km because it represents the same distance in both units, making the ratio mathematically equivalent to 1.
