Question

amistre64 · Answer

15m^2 = x cm^2;  that one i assume

amistre64 · Answer

are there 100 centimeters in a meter?

anonymous · Answer

yes

amistre64 · Answer

then if we are making a square; 1500*1500 cm^2  matches 15*15 m^2

anonymous · Answer

1m = 100cm, 1m^2 = 100^2 cm ^2 = 10,000 cm^2

15m^2 = 15,000 cm^2

anonymous · Answer

Yep, it's right

anonymous · Answer

thank you

anonymous · Answer

when you're converting units to something squared, do the same thing to the number as you did to the unit

anonymous · Answer

so say you're trying to figure centimeters cubed from meters cubed, you'd take 100 and cube it as well (teh conversion)
