Question

If 1 m = 100 cm, how many cm^2 are in a m^2?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:
`1\text{ m = 100cm}`
`\begin{gathered} 1cm^2\text{ = 1cm }*\text{ 1cm} \\ 1m^2\text{ = 1 m }*\text{ 1m} \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} 1m^2\text{ = 1 m }*\text{ 1 m} \\ \text{replacing 1m with 100cm} \\ 1m^2\text{ }=\text{ 100cm }*\text{ 100cm} \end{gathered}`
`1m^2=10000cm^2`

There are 10000cm² in 1 m²
