Squared & Cubic Units Flashcards

All 6 cards in this deck

How many mm² are there in 1 cm²?

100 mm$^2$, because $10 \times 10 = 100$.

How many cm² are there in 1 m²?

10 000 cm$^2$, because $100 \times 100 = 10\,000$.

How many cm³ are there in 1 m³?

1 000 000 cm$^3$, because $100 \times 100 \times 100 = 1\,000\,000$.

How many mm³ are there in 1 cm³?

1000 mm$^3$, because $10 \times 10 \times 10 = 1000$.

True or false? To change an area from m² into cm² you multiply by 100.

False.
You multiply by $100^2 = 10\,000$.

What are the steps to change a volume in cm³ into m³?

e.g. 8000 cm³

1. Find the length factor: 100 cm = 1 m
2. Cube it for volume: $100^3 = 1\,000\,000$
3. Divide (m$^3$ is larger): $8000 \div 1\,000\,000 = 0.008$ m$^3$
