Google Search Challenge!

So in cyber smart I will be doing a Google Search Challenge. First off, I have a question to answer and I will have to answer it with some information off google.

Q - If you stacked $20 dollar bills until you reach $1 million, would the stack be higher than the rim of a basketball hoop?

The height of a rim basketball hoop is 18 inches which is about 46 cm. 

The height of a single $20 bill is 0.0043 inches thick. 

You will need 500 $20 dollar bills to get to 10,000. 

So, 500 x 0.0043 is 2.15 inches. 

$1 million dollars in $20 bills is: 2.15 inches thick, 5.461 cm and 56.41 millimetres thick. 

Shorter or Taller: Taller

A - Yes, the stack would be higher than the rim of a basketball hoop.
