Meter Square (abbreviation: m2): is the SI derived unit of area. It is the area of a square whose sides measure exactly one metre. The square metre is derived from the SI base unit of the metre, which itself is the length of the path travelled by light in absolute vacuum within time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a second.
Centimeter Square (abbreviation: cm2): is the SI derived unit of area. It is the area of a square whose sides measure exactly one centimeter. The square centimeter is derived from the SI base unit of the metre, which itself is the length of the path travelled by light in absolute vacuum within time interval of 1/299,792,458 * 1/100 of a second.
How to Convert Meters Square to Centimeters Square
Example: How many centimeters square are equivalent to 11.76 meters square?
As;
1 meters square = 10000 centimeters square
11.76 meters square = Y centimeters square
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 11.76 times 10000 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 11.76 * 10000 / 1 = 117600 centimeters square
Answer is: 117600 centimeters square are equivalent to 11.76 meters square.
