Question

How do i convert cm^2 to m^2 ?

Answer 1

100 cm = 1 m

square both sides to get

(100 cm)^2 = (1 m)^2

(100)^2 (cm)^2 = (1)^2 (m)^2

10,000 cm^2 = 1 m^2

---------------------------

This means that if you had a square that is 1 meter by 1 meter, then you can fit 10,000 little squares that are 1 cm by 1 cm

Answer 2

The equation `10,000 cm^2 = 1 m^2` is then used as the conversion factor
