Convert square centimeter to square millimeter
Please provide values below to convert square centimeter [cm^2] to square millimeter [mm^2], or Convert square millimeter to square centimeter.
1 cm^2 = 100 mm^2. To convert square centimeter to square millimeter, multiply the value by 100; to go the other way, divide by it (1 mm^2 = 0.01 cm^2). Both units measure area and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 cm^2 = 100 mm^2
- 1 mm^2 = 0.01 cm^2
- 10 cm^2 = 1000 mm^2
- 100 cm^2 = 10000 mm^2
How to Convert Square Centimeter to Square Millimeter
1 cm^2 = 100 mm^2
Example: convert 15 cm^2 to mm^2:
15 cm^2 = 15 × 100 mm^2 = 1500 mm^2
