This question doesn't explain what exactly is the problem is.

A square meter is exactly what it says, a square that is 1m long by 1m wide or any combination of dimensions that when multiplied give a result of 1m^2 e.g. 2m long by 0.5m wide has an area of 1 meter squared.

A cubic meter is the same idea except that an extra dimension is added on so a cubic meter is a cube/box with dimensions 1m long by 1m wide by 1m tall or any combination as above.

When using equations where your given cubic meters or square meters and the answer is in the other form, treat the units as algebraic values with powers and include them in the equation so that m^3 divided by m = m^2 or vice versa.

When trying to change square meters into square centimeters go back to the basic units and work out the ratio. e.g. 1m=100cm, and 1m^2=1m by 1m so 1m^2=100cm by 100cm = 10,000cm^2

therefore 1 square meter = 10,000 square centimeters
