Solution Steps

Step 1: Understand the Conversion Factor

To convert from meters to centimeters, we need to know the conversion factor. There are 100 centimeters in 1 meter.

Step 2: Apply the Conversion Factor

Multiply the given thickness in meters by the conversion factor to convert it to centimeters: \[ 0.343 \, \text{m} \times 100 \, \frac{\text{cm}}{\text{m}} = 34.3 \, \text{cm} \]

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{34.3 \, \text{cm}} \]
