A square tile has length of 8.0 cm. What is the area of the title in square meters?
(0.08 meters)^2 = ___ m^2
(Square the 0.08 and fill in the blank)
To find the area of the square tile in square meters, we need to convert the length given in centimeters to meters and then use the formula for the area of a square.
1. Convert the length from centimeters to meters:
Since 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters, we can divide the length in centimeters by 100 to get the length in meters.
In this case, the length is 8.0 cm, which is equal to 8.0 / 100 = 0.08 meters.
2. Use the formula for the area of a square:
The area of a square is calculated by squaring the length of one side.
In this case, the length of one side is 0.08 meters.
Therefore, the area of the square tile is (0.08)^2 = 0.0064 square meters.
So, the area of the square tile is 0.0064 square meters.
