Why is 1000cm squared equals 1m squared?

Answer 1

Linearly 100 cm = 1 m

Area = 100cm X 100 cm = 1 m x 1m

=>

10000 cm^(2) = 1 m^(2)

So 1000 cm^(2) does NOT equal 1 m^(2)

Answer 2

1000 cm squared is 1000 cm x 1000 cm = 1,000,000 cm2

1 meter is 100 cm

1 meter squared is 100 cm x 100 cm = 10,000 cm2

The two are not equal
