Question

Convert 1.50μm2 to square meters

Answer 1

1 micro meter = $10^{-6} meters$
1 μm ^2 = 1 μm*1μm = $10^{-6} *10^{-6} = 10^{-12}$ meters

1.5 μm^2 = 1.5 * $10^{-12}$ meters

μm^2 is a unit for surface. First you want to convert μm to meters which is unit for length and if you multiply units for length you get unit for surface.
