Question

1 find the area in square cm of a square whose side is
[i] 2.6cm
[ii] 1.2dm
2.find in sq m the area of a square of side 16.5dm

Answer 1

For question 1:

Part i)

2.6 x 2.6 = 6.76 cm squared

No unit conversions needed

Part ii)

1.2 dm = 1.2 / 1000000 = 0.0000012 cm

0.0000012 x 0.0000012 = 0.00000000000144 cm squared

Question 2:

16.5dm = 16.5/ 1000 = 0.0165 m

0.0165 x 0.0165 = 0.00027225 m squared

I hope this has helped

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

i) Area of Square = Length^{2}

= 2.6 × 2.6 = 6.76 cm^{2}

ii)

1 dm = 10 cm

1.2 dm = 12cm

Area of Square = 12×12 = 144 cm

2)

1 dm = 0.1 m

16.5 dm = 1.65 m

Area of square = 1.65×1.65 = 2.7225 m^2

= 2.7225 sq m
