how many one-centimeters squares fit inside a square that has an area of 9 square meters?
The equivalent question is how many square centimentres are in 9 square metres.
1 square metre
= 1 metre * 1 metre
= 100 cm * 100 cm
= 10000 sq cm.
So
9 square metres
= ? sq. cm?
1 m = 100 cm
For a square:
9 m^2 = 3 m * 3m = 300 cm * 300 cm = ?
To determine the number of one-centimeter squares that fit inside a larger square with an area of 9 square meters, you need to take the following steps:
Step 1: Convert the area of the larger square to square centimeters.
To convert square meters to square centimeters, you need to multiply by the conversion factor of 10,000 since there are 10,000 square centimeters in one square meter.
9 square meters * 10,000 square centimeters/square meter = 90,000 square centimeters.
Step 2: Calculate the area of one one-centimeter square.
Since each side of the one-centimeter square measures 1 centimeter, the area of the square is equal to 1 square centimeter.
Step 3: Divide the area of the larger square by the area of one one-centimeter square.
90,000 square centimeters / 1 square centimeter = 90,000.
Therefore, 90,000 one-centimeter squares can fit inside a square with an area of 9 square meters.
