Did you know?
Did you know that when comparing the size of two signs, we cannot directly compare the areas in square inches and square centimeters? The reason is that inches and centimeters are units of length, not area. However, we can convert between the two units to compare the signs accurately. Since 1 inch is equal to 2.54 centimeters, we can find the conversion factor by squaring this value. So, 1 square inch is equal to approximately 6.45 square centimeters. If Maya made another sign with an area of 48 square inches, it would be larger than a sign with an area of 48 square centimeters. This is because 48 square inches would be equivalent to a significantly larger area in square centimeters due to the conversion factor.
