What is the difference between 8m2 and 8 square meters?

Answer 1

There is absolutely no difference between square metre and metre square. Some people prefer to say metre square instead of square metre, but no matter what, it doesn't make a difference. They both mean a square with the dimensions of 1m by 1m.

there is definitely a difference! 4 square meters would look like 4 tiles lined up next to each other ex: . . . . 4 square meters = 4

while 4 meter square would show 4 squared like this: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 squared = 4x4=16

Sorry i did not have blocks or tiles to use :(

Yes, you are right. The amazing part is 1, whose square is the same. However, 2 meters squared would yield 4 square meters whereas 1,4142135623730950488016887242097 shall yield 2 square meters and so on and so forth with other numbers. In reverse is also true. The square root of 1 is 1 but the square root of 2 is as mentioned above. Even more fascinating is 2 whose multiplication to itself is the same as its addition to itself. It is a very special concept. No other number has the same attributes. Theory of numbers is the most fascinating study in Mathematics.

Answer 2

8m2 would be a square measuring 8 meters on each side which would equal 64 square meters. 8square meters could be any shape containing a total area of 8 meters: for instance an area 4m * 2m would be 8 sq m

8 m2 is the same as 8 square metres. The superscript 2 (2) is a maths symbol that stands for squared.

Answer 3

Three square meters is an area of, for example, three meters long by one meter wide (3m x 1m) total equals, three square meters.

Three meters squared is an area of three meters long and three meters wide (3m x 3m) total area equals, nine square meters.
