Answer 2

If a object was 1 cm long and 1 cm wide you would calculate its area by muliplying the width by the length. 1cm x 1 cm and the answer would be that its area was 1 cm squared. 2cm long by 2cm wide would give you an area of 2cm x 2cm which is 4cm squared. A centimeter squared is written as cm2
