Question: If 100 centimetres = 1 meter, then what is the value of 100 centimetre^2 in meter^2?
Correct Answer: B
Solution and Explanation:
Approach Solution 1:
1 m^2= 1m∗1m= 100cm∗100cm=10,000cm^2;
100cm^2= 0.01m^2.
Approach Solution 2:
100 cm= 1 m .
100*100 cm^2= 1 m ^2.
100 cm^2= ( 1/100 ) m^2= 0.01 m^2.
Approach Solution 3:
100 cm = 1 m
Square both sides to get cm^2 and m^2
10000 cm^2 = 1 m^2
Divide by 100 to get what is asked in the question
100 cm^2 = 0.01 m^2.
