Explanation:

Step1: Convert feet to centimeters

From the conversion tiles, we know that \( 1 \text{ foot} = 30.48 \text{ centimeters} \). So for 29,029 feet, we calculate the number of centimeters: \( 29029\times30.48 \) centimeters.
\( 29029\times30.48 = 29029\times(30 + 0.48)=29029\times30+29029\times0.48 = 870870+13933.92 = 884803.92 \) centimeters.

Step2: Convert centimeters to meters

We know that \( 1 \text{ meter} = 100 \text{ centimeters} \), so to convert centimeters to meters, we divide the number of centimeters by 100: \( \frac{884803.92}{100}=8848.0392 \) meters.

Step3: Convert meters to kilometers

We know that \( 1 \text{ kilometer} = 1000 \text{ meters} \), so to convert meters to kilometers, we divide the number of meters by 1000: \( \frac{8848.0392}{1000}=8.8480392 \) kilometers.

Answer:

8.848 (approximate value, more precisely about 8.84845)
