Because 1 metre = 100 cm so that 12 metres = 1200 cm and, as even a child knows, 1200 is bigger than 120!
First convert the metric so that both measurements are in the same scale: 2 m= 200 cm or 120 cm= 1.2 m. Then multiply to find the area like you would normally: 2 m*1.2 m=2.4 m^2 or 120 cm*200 cm= 240 cm^2
1.2 metres or about 4 feet
Convert everything to the same unit; then you can easily compare. As a reminder, 1 cm = 10 mm.
2400 cm equals 2.400 meter, so 2400 is bigger.
