that sentence was well written. I quoted from Step up to Ielts, Unit 3.
You dont get my point. The sentence "the river is 1 km long" is right; we all know that cuz we learned it in secondary school. I asked, why can't we say "the river is long 1 km", as you said earlier that "1 km" function as a noun.

Damn, I still think the sentence sounds weird. About "1 km long", let me dissect it for you.

The component in question is a adjectival phrase by nature and intention. It can be decomposed unto:

• "long" - the main adjective or the core of the component.
• "1 km" - the noun phrase acting a the attribute for the core above.

Hence, by keeping this order, "1 km long" is used to describe the river. If you switch the order of the elements, the component transforms into a pure noun phrase and its meaning is altered. E.g. "She kept moaning how it was a long 1 km"

I hope that helps your enquiry.
