Question

a prism has a surface area of 100 cm2 . which sentence describes the effect of measuring the surface area in square millimeters ?

Answer 1

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
