Question

Find the area of a square of side 16m8cm

Answer 1

16m 8cm= 1608cm

Therefore, area= 1608^2

= 2585664cm^2

Answer 2

since , side of square = 16m 8cm

we know that,

1 m = 100cm

=> 16m = 16 × 100cm = 1600cm

so, side in cm = 1600cm + 8cm = 1608cm

$\therefore$ area of square

= ${(side)}^{2}$

= ${(1608)}^{2}$

= 1608 × 1608

= 2585664 cm²

if 1 cm = $\frac{1}{100}$ m

then, 1 cm² = $\frac{1}{10000}$ m²

thus , area in sq. metre ,

= $\frac{2585664}{10000}$

= 258.5664 m²
