0.005 cm2 ≈ 5 × 10^-7 m2. To convert square centimeters to square meters, divide by 10,000: 0.005 ÷ 10,000 = 5 × 10^-7.
How to convert square centimeters to square meters
m2 = cm2 × 0.0001
- 1 cm2 = 0.0001 m2 (and 1 m2 = 10,000 cm2).
- Multiply the amount by the factor: 0.005 × 0.0001 = 5 × 10^-7.
- Answer: 0.005 cm2 ≈ 5 × 10^-7 m2 (rounded to 6 significant figures).
Shortcut: dividing by 10,000 gives the same result as multiplying by 0.0001.
