A square painting measures 2 meters on each side.What Is the area of the painting in square centimeters.
2 meters = 200 centimeters
A = LW
A = 200 * 200
To find the area of the square painting in square centimeters, we need to convert the measurements from meters to centimeters.
1 meter = 100 centimeters
Therefore, to convert the length of each side of the square from meters to centimeters, we can multiply it by 100:
2 meters * 100 centimeters/meter = 200 centimeters
Now that we have the length of each side in centimeters, we can calculate the area of the square painting. The area of a square is found by multiplying the length of one side by itself:
Area of square = Side length * Side length
Area = 200 centimeters * 200 centimeters = 40,000 square centimeters
Therefore, the area of the square painting is 40,000 square centimeters.
