We are asked to find the area of a square, given that its side length is $0.7$ meters. We are asked to convert the side length from meters to centimeters, and then calculate the area in square centimeters.

1. Problem Description

We are asked to find the area of a square, given that its side length is $0.7$ meters. We are asked to convert the side length from meters to centimeters, and then calculate the area in square centimeters.

2. Solution Steps

First, we convert the side length from meters to centimeters. We know that 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters. Therefore, we can convert $0.7$ meters to centimeters by multiplying $0.7$ by

1

0

0. $0.7 \text{ m} = 0.7 \times 100 \text{ cm} = 70 \text{ cm}$.

Next, we calculate the area of the square. The area of a square is given by the formula:

$\text{Area} = (\text{side length})^2$.

In our case, the side length is $70$ cm. So, the area of the square is:

$\text{Area} = (70 \text{ cm})^2 = 70 \text{ cm} \times 70 \text{ cm} = 4900 \text{ cm}^2$.

3. Final Answer

The area of the square is 4900 sq. cm.
