Centimeter Square to Meter Square Formula

Before going to learn the cm2 to m2 formula, let us recall what are centimeters and meters. Centimeter and meter are the units for the measurement of the length of any object or body, while cm2 and m2 are the units for measurement of the area. cm2 to m2 formula helps in the conversion of a unit of the area given in cm2 to m2. Let us learn it.

What Is the cm2 to m2 Formula?

There are 100 cm contained in 1 m, i.e., 1 m = 100 cm. While comparing cm2 and m2, the multiplication constant also gets squared as 1 m2 = (100)2 cm2 (or) 1 m2 = 10000 cm2. Thus, the cm2 to m2 formula is given as:

(Area in m)2 = (Area in cm)2/10000

Let us learn the applications of cm2 to m2 formula in the following section.

Examples Using cm2 to m2 Formula

Example 1: Using cm2 to m2 formula, convert 147 cm2 to m2.

Solution:     

To find: 147 cm2 in m2

Using cm2 to m2 formula,

(Area in m)2 = (Area in cm)2/10000

147 cm2 = 147/10000 m2

= 0.147 m2

Answer:  147 cm2 = 0.147 m2

Example 2: A plot measures 28600 cm2. Find the area of plot in m2 using suitable conversion formula. 

Solution:     

To find: Area of plot in m2

Given: 

Area of plot in cm2 = 28600 cm2

Using cm2 to m2 formula,

28600 cm2 = 28600/10000

= 2.86 m2

Answer:  Area of plot = 2.86 m2
