For this case we must make a conversion, to indicate the surface of the prism in square millimeters.

By definition, we have to:


1cm ^ 2 = 100mm ^ 2

By making a rule of three we have:


1cm ^ 2 ----------> 100mm ^ 2\\100cm ^ 2 ------> x

Where the variable "x" represents the quantity in millimeters.


x = \frac {100 * 100} {1}\\x = 10000 \ mm ^ 2

Thus, the surface of the prism is: 10000 square millimeters

Answer:

10000 square millimeters
