Question

1. How many square cm are in 1 square m?

Same with 1m^3

Answer 1

1m^2 = 10,000cm^2 (10 thousand square centimeters)

1m^3 = 1,000,000cm^3 (1 million cubic centimeters)

Explanation:

x^2 is the same as x × x

There are 100 sm in a meter, so in this case x = 100

100^2 = 100 × 100 = 10,000

x^3 is the same as x × x × x

100^3 = 100 × 100 × 100 = 1,000,000

Answer 2

10,000 cm² in 1 m²

1,000,000 cm³ in 1 m³

Explanation:

There are 100 cm in 1 m

Therefore, to find how many square cms are in 1 square meter, we need to square 100: 100² = 100 x 100 = 10,000

Therefore, there are 10,000 cm² in 1 m²

Therefore, to find how many cubic cms are in 1 square meter, we need to cube 100: 100³ = 100 x 100 x 100 = 1,000,000

Therefore, there are 1,000,000 cm³ in 1 m³
