The area of the parallelogram is 48 square meters. Now we want to convert it into square centimeters.Let's consider how best to do this.
1 m^2 = (1 m)(1 m)
⇕
(100 cm)(100 cm)=10 000 cm^2
Converting between square meters ( m^2) and square centimeters ( cm^2) will involve using a conversion factor.
10 000cm^2/1 m^2
If we multiply 48m^2 by this conversion factor, we will have an equivalent value in square centimeters. Let's do it!
