Question

Suppose that, from measurements in a microscope, you determine that a certain layer of graphene covers an area of 2.60μm2. convert this to square meters.'

Answer 1

Given that 1 micrometer or micron (um) is equivalent by definition to 1 x 10^-6 m, this means that 1 square micron (um^2) is equivalent to (1 x 10^-6)^2 m^2, or 1 x 10^-12 m^2.

(2.60 um^2) * (1 x 10^-12 m^2 / 1 um^2) = 2.60 x 10^-12 m^2
Therefore the layer of graphene covers an area of 2.60 x 10^-12 m^2.

Answer 2

2.60 μm² = 2.60 x 10⁻¹² m²

Further explanation

Given

A certain layer of graphene covers an area of 2.60 μm²

so we will convert μm² (micro meters square) into m² (meter square)

1 μm = 1 x 10⁻⁶

(1 μm)² = (1 x 10⁻⁶)² = 1 x 10⁻¹²

Therefore 2.60 μm² = 2.60 x 10⁻¹²

Here are some other conversion of area units:

1 mm² (square millimeter)  = 0,000001 m²

1 cm² (square centimeter)  = 0,0001 m²

1 dm² (square decimeter)  = 0,01 m²  

1 ha (hectare) = 10000 m²

1 km² (square kilometer) = 1000000 m²
