Question

If I have a cube that is 1 meter on each side, what is the surface area of one side in square centimeters?

Answer 1

10,000 cm²

Explanation:

using the conversion

1 metre = 100 centimetres

the face of a cube is a square

the area (A) of a square is calculated as

A = s² ( s is the side length )

here s = 1 m , then

A = 1² m² = 100² cm² = 10,000 cm²
