There are 100 centimeters in 1 meter. 1m = 100cm
But since we're given square meters to square centimeters, we have to square both sides of the equation, giving us:
(1m)(1m) = (100cm)(100cm)
1m^2 = 10,000cm^2
We're also asked to convert 10 square meters to square centimeters, so multiply both sides of the equation by 10:
10m^2 = 100,000cm^2
