A geometry problem by Zandra Vinegar

There are 10000 square centimeters in 1 square meter.

Proof: 1 $m$ = 100 $cm$ , therefore 1 $m^2$ = $100 \times 100$ $cm^2$ = 10000 $cm^2$ .

Therefore, there are 100 times that many square centimeters in 100 square meters.

100 $m^2$ = $100 \times 10000$ $cm^2$ = 1000000 $cm^2 = 10^6$ $cm^2$ .

Solution: 100 $m^2$ = $10^6$ $cm^2$

Don't be deceived! The length is 10 meters (sqrt(100)). Next, converting it into centimeters (1m=100cm) -> 10*100=1000; 1000^2=1,000,000= 10^6

1 meter squared is just 1 centimeter times 100 centimeters times 100 centimeters again , because its 1 meter squared , not just 1 meter. and, as we all know, 100 times 100 = 10000 And then comes at us the fact that there are 100 square meters! So how do we solve this? Well, 10000 times 100 = 1000000 = 10^6
