How big is 16mm x 14mm?

Answer 1

1.Solve for Area

A = length x width

A = 16mm x 14mm

A = 224(mm x mm)

A = 224 mm2 [square millimeters]

2. Convert from metric or SI(System International) to English.

224 mm2 = 2.24 cm2

[10 mm = 1 cm] [1o mm x 10 mm = 1cm x 1cm]

100 mm2 = 1cm2

{(1cm2/1oo mm2 )}

dividing by 1cm2/100 mm2 removes the mm2 because mm/mm = 1 making the unit cm2.

224mm2/100 mm2 = 2.24 cm2

Using a conversion chart: square cm x 0.155 changes value to square inches.

2.24 x 0.155 = 0.3472 in2

Place a quarter on a ruler to visualize 1 square inch,or place the quarter in the corner of a piece of paper as close to the top + side of the paper without going off, make 1 cut parallel to top edge below coin and another cut parallel to side edge on the other side of the coin,

set the ruler over the square piece so that the end closest to the one is even with any edge with the top of the ruler across the middle.

The left edge of square is 0 and the other edge should end about the large mark next to the 1.

The mark in the middle is the half-way point between 0 and 1.

Half-way between 0 and 1/2 is 1/4, between 1/2 and 1 is 3/4.

If you keep this up until there are 32 equal sections between 0 and 1 you can then count 11 of these of 11/32 of an inch and color either side of this mark. The smaller area is about 0.3472 in2 [ 11/32 in2 is 0.34375 in2

about the size of 16mm x 14mm!
