Question

A square has sides that are 10 cm long. What is the area in square inches? round your answer to the nearest tenth and shoe you work

Answer 1

Answer: 100 square centimeters

Explanation:

a square has 4 equal sides.

to find area multiply width by height

10cm=w

10cm=h

10X10=100

Answer 2

To convert square centimeters to square inches, you need to use the conversion factor: 1 square centimeter (cm²) = 0.1550 square inches (in²).

So, to find the area of a square with sides of 10 cm:

Area = (Side in cm)²

Area = (10 cm)² = 100 cm²

Now, convert to square inches:

Area in square inches = 100 cm² × 0.1550 in²/cm² ≈ 15.50 in²

So, the area of the square is approximately 15.50 square inches when rounded to two decimal places.
