This is because the unit has been squares. One metre is 100 centimetres, so one m2 or square metre is 1 m x 1 m = 1 m2; which in centimetres is 100 cm x 100 cm = 10 000 cm2.

10 m2 would be 1 metre x 10 metres (or 2x5 or 3x3.33) which is 100 cm x 1 000 cm which equals 100 000 cm2.

In volume 1 m3, one cubic metre, is 100 cm x 100 cm x 100 cm = 1 000 000 cm3.
