How many square meters are there in 3000 square centimeters?

Answer 1

3000 sq cm is like a square with 54.772256 cm on each side (square root of 3000)

convert 54.772256 cm to meters, so 54.772256cm *1m/100cm =0.54772256m, in other words, move decimal 2 places to the left

now the square is 0.54772256m on each side=0.54772256m*0.54772256=0.3square meters

or you could just divide to 3000 square meters by 100 twice, 3000/100=30, 30/100=0.3. you have to divide twice because each side of the square has to be converted before you multiply them back up
