How much greater is a square decameter than a square centimeter?

Answer 1

A deca~ in the metric system is ten times larger than a centi~.

So a decametre = 10 centimetres.

A square decametre will therefore be 10 x 10 times larger than a square centimetre - 100 times its size.

Answer 2

A square decameter is 10,000 times greater than a square centimeter because a decameter is 10 meters on each side, and a centimeter is 0.01 meters. So, the difference in area between the two units is (10 / 0.01)^2 = 10,000.

Answer 3

There are 100 square centimeters in one square decimeter
