Key Stage 3
Meaning
Centimetres Squared (cm2) are a unit for measuring the area of a surface.
About Centimetres Squared
- Centimetres squared are shortened to cm2 with a lower case c and a lower case m and an indices of 2.
- A centimetre squared is the area of a square with sides of 1cm each. Since a centimetre is 0.01 metres then a centimetre squared is 0.01 x 0.01 metres squared (0.0001m2).
Convert to Centimetres Squared
| Unit | To convert | Centimetres Squared |
| 1 metre squared (1m2) | Convert to cm2 x10,000. | 10,000cm2 |
| 1 centimetre squared (1m3) | Convert to cm2 x1 | 1cm2 |
Key Stage 4
Meaning
Centimetres Squared (cm2) are a unit of area 10,000 times smaller than the SI Unit; the metre squared.
About Centimetres Squared
- Centimetres squared are shortened to cm2 with a lower case c and a lower case m and an indices of 2.
- A centimetre squared is the area of a square with sides of 1cm each. Since a centimetre is 0.01 metres then a centimetre squared is 0.01 x 0.01 metres squared (0.0001m2).
Convert to Centimetres Squared
| Unit | To convert | Centimetres Squared |
| 1 metre squared (1m2) | Convert to cm2 x104 | 1x104cm2 |
| 1 centimetre squared (1m3) | Convert to cm2 x1 | 1cm2 |
