Question 1017472: A pond has a surface area of 1552 m squared. Convert this quantity into each of the following units:
a. ft squared
b. km squared
c. dm squared
I have come to the conclusion that a might be 5088.52 ft squared- I converted using the information of 1 ft = 0.305 m. Is this correct and if not can you please show me what I did wrong?
I think b might be 1.55 km squared, is this correct and if not can you walk me through it to see what I did wrong?
I have no idea how to do c, assistance would be greatly appreciated. Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A pond has a surface area of 1552 m squared. Convert this quantity into each of the following units:
a. ft squared
b. km squared
c. dm squared
1 meter is equal to 3.28084 feet.
1 meter is equal to .001 kilometers.
1 meter is equal to 10 decimeters.
1 square meter is equal to 1 * 1 = 1 square meter.
1 square meter in square feet is equal to 3.28084 * 3.28084 = 10.7639111 square feet.
1 square meter in square kilometers is equal to .001 * .001 = .00001 square kilometers.
1 square meter in square decimeters is equal to 10 * 10 = 100 square decimeters.
you have 1552 square meters.
that would be equal to 1552 * 10.7639111 = 16705.59003 square feet.
that would be equal to 1552 * .000001 = .001552 square kilometers.
that would be equal to 1552 * 100 = 155200 square decimeters.
