explain why the conversion factor for cm2 to mm2 is 100 and not 10
No, perimeter is always measured in units of length (L)
Area is always reported in square units because a square unit measures the length and width on a square. Square units measure the surface of a square or rectangle.
Take the length of a side (a square has all 4 sides same length) in the units, and square that number (multiply it by itself), then take the units as square units. Example: a square has a side length of 3 units, then the area = (3 units)2 = 9 units2.
Length of Side*Length of Side (in square units).
The length of the side of a square of area x square units is sqrt(x) units.
the units for area are always stated as a square of some units of lengths?
No, perimeter is always measured in units of length (L)
Area is always reported in square units because a square unit measures the length and width on a square. Square units measure the surface of a square or rectangle.
Area is always expressed in some unit of area. This is often some unit of length, squared - for example square meters, or square millimeters. However, there are units (such as the acre) which are not the square of a unit of length.
The area of a square of length m is m2 Accordingly, for a square of side length 6 length units = 62 square units. = 36 square units
The side length of a square with an area of 2 square units is: 1.414 units.
The area of a square with a side length of 5 units is 25 square units.
perimeters will always be length so we have units of lenght such as mm, inch, feet etc. NOT area, so no square feet or square yards etc.
Take the length of a side (a square has all 4 sides same length) in the units, and square that number (multiply it by itself), then take the units as square units. Example: a square has a side length of 3 units, then the area = (3 units)2 = 9 units2.
Length of Side*Length of Side (in square units).
The length of the side of a square of area x square units is sqrt(x) units.
6.25 square units
