Square centimeters are a measure of area. If you were measuring something smaller than a square meter, but larger than a square milimeter, it would be suggested to use square centimeters. because when you are trying to find the area of something you cant just use centimeters because that is just for length not for like how much space is in a shape. That's the best answer i have

What is the difference between square centimeters and cubic centimeters?

Square centimeters is a measure of surface area. Cubic centimeters are a measure of volume. A cube that's 20 cm on an edge would have 6 surfaces, each 400 square cm in size, giving a total surface of 2400 square centimeters - slightly less than 1/4 of a square meter. That same cube would have a volume of 8,000 cubic centimeters (which would be 8 liters.)


Which unhit would you useto measure each area square centimeters or square meters?

This depends on the area you live in and how much area there is. If you lived in the US, you would more likely measure by hectares, acres, and other units of area. However, if you live in Great Britain, Asia or Australia and other parts of the world, you would more likely use square meters and centimeters. Now to your question. Which unit would you use to measure area: square centimeters or square meters? If I were to draw a square on a piece of paper, it would not match up to a single meter in length so I would measure by square centimeters (GB) or square inches (US). But if I were to measure larger areas such as land, I would measure in square meters (GB) or square feet and hectares (US).
