How many cm in an hectare?

Answer 1

A hectare is a unit of area equivalent to a square 100 meters per side. So, with an area of 100 x 100 m2 = 10,000 m2. At 100 cm per meter, that square would be 10,000 cm per side, so the area is equivalent to 104 x 104 = 108 cm2. Note the units of area are cm2, not cm.
