Question

Convert 1.00 in² to cm²?

Answer 1

To convert 1.00 in² to cm², multiply by (2.54 cm/in) squared, resulting in 6.4516 cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert 1.00 in² to cm², we need to use the conversion factor between inches and centimeters. There is a known conversion factor that 1 inch is equivalent to 2.54 centimeters. However, since we are working with square inches to square centimeters, we must square the conversion factor. Therefore, we use (2.54 cm)^2 per (1 in)^2 for the conversion.

To do the conversion:

1. Multiply the area in square inches by the conversion factor squared.
2. Therefore, 1.00 in² × (2.54 cm/in)^2 = 1.00 × (2.54 × 2.54) cm² = 1.00 × (6.4516) cm² = 6.4516 cm².

The result is that 1.00 square inch equals 6.4516 square centimeters.
