Given the statement:
A square painting measures 2 meters on each side.
Determine the area in square centimeters.
Solution:
Change first meters to centimeters by multiplying the value with 100.
2 meter = 200 cm
Formula for the area of the square:
A = l^2
Substitute the value to the formula for the area of the square.
A = (200 cm)^2
A = 40,000 cm^2
Final answer:
A = 40,000 cm^2
