Answer is cm2

They give you “cm” in the measurements
You are looking for cm2 or cm3?


The way I remember units (squared or cubed)
If it is two numbers multiplied it’s value is squared “X^2”
Two numbers is a two dimensional figure, it is flat <>
Example is 1/2 base x height is squared


If it is three numbers multiplied it is cubed
“X^3”
Three numbers is a three dimensional shape like a cube or

Example L x W x H is cubed
