Questions: Make the following conversion. 3.2 m^2 to square centimeters

Solution Steps

To convert square meters to square centimeters, we need to know that 1 square meter is equal to 10,000 square centimeters. Therefore, we can multiply the given value in square meters by 10,000 to get the value in square centimeters.

To convert from square meters to square centimeters, we use the conversion factor: \[ 1 \, m^{2} = 10,000 \, cm^{2} \]

Given the area in square meters: \[ 3.2 \, m^{2} \] we multiply by the conversion factor: \[ 3.2 \, m^{2} \times 10,000 \, cm^{2}/m^{2} = 32,000 \, cm^{2} \]
