As phrased, this question doesn't make much sense. Once could say an infinite number of two-dimentional 'square meters' can fit 'in' a three-dimentional cubic meter. Perhaps the question you are asking is, "In square meters, what is the surface area of a 2-cubic-meter cube?" To answer that, you can find the length of one edge of the cube by taking the cube root of the volume. The cube root of 2 is ABOUT 1.26. (In actuality, it's a never ending, non-repeating decimal, so you can't calculate it exactly.) Now that we know one edge of the cube is 1.26 meters, we can calculate the area of one side. 1.26 ^ 2 = 1.5876 square meters. Since a cube has 6 sides, you can multiply the single-side area by 6. 6 x 1.5876 = 9.5256 square meters for the entire surface area of a cube that occupies 2 cubic meters of space.

Cubic metres is a measure of *volume/capacity*. (3 dimensional)
Square metres is measure of *area* (2 dimensional)
Since *volume/capacity* & *area* are different units of measure, neither of them can be converted into the other.
Note: The symbol / (above) equals the word "or".
This question is incorrect.
Square meter is two-dimensional measurements unit and cubic meter is three- dimensional measurement unit
Sq meters and cubic meters can not be compared.
Sq ft shows an area. Cubic meter show a volume. One cannot be converted to the other.
You can't convert a volume measurement to area measurement without knowing which dimension to remove.
