The area is __ square centimeters.

Answer 1

The area of the shape is 3m³ square centimetres.

Explanation:

We know that the area of single square is m² cm².

There are m squares per row, so for the area of the row, we multiply that by m, giving us m³ cm².

Finally, we know that there are three rows, so we need to multiply that by three, giving a total area of 3m³ cm²
