Question

A square painting measures 2 meters on each side. What is the area of the painting square centimeters?

Answer 1

40,000cm

Explanation:

there are 100cm in every meter, so each side of the square is 200cm long. to find the area multiply length times height (the length and the height are equal on a square)

200x200 = 40,000

Answer 2

`\boxed{\text{40 000 cm}^(2)}`

Explanation:

A = l²

`A = (\text{2 m})^(2) * \left (\frac{\text{100 cm}}{\text{1 m}}\right )^(2) = \textbf{40 000 cm}^(2)\\\\\text{The area of the painting is $\boxed{\textbf{40 000 cm}^(2)}$}`
