OpenStudy (mary.rojas):

Oh, you are not suppose to be using this for tests and other sorts so....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its a practice test to show what we know lol and i just needed help so i can understand it

OpenStudy (mary.rojas):

oh, do you get this one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i dont get any of this stuff

OpenStudy (mary.rojas):

well the area would stay the same because the actual area is not changing, only the units it is measured in. Like 1 ft is still equal to 12 inches. They are still the same amount,just different units. That is what this problem is saying

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh well tht makes sense...can u help me with some other ones? i can try to get the answer and explain it

OpenStudy (mary.rojas):

I have to go right now, but I could help you another time or find someone else too :) there are many willing to help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok ty for the help

OpenStudy (abb0t):

1 meter = 100 cm therefore, if you have 375.2 m\(^2\) going to cm\(^2\) you would have: 3,752,000 cm\(^2\) 100 \(\times\) 100 = 10000
