Question

I’m struggling in dimensional analysis. I’m trying to convert 17.6 mm^2 to in^2. I understand first we know 1 in = 2.54 cm. Then how do you convert from cm to mm.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.0272801

Explanation:

17.6 $mm^{2}$ * $\frac{1 cm^{2} }{10 mm^{2} }$ * $\frac{1 in^{2} }{6.4516 cm^{2} }$ = 0.02728005 in^2. You have to square the value of 2.54 to convert cm to cm^2.
