Neliösentimetrejä

Neliösentimetrejä is the Finnish term for square centimeters. It is a unit of area in the metric system. One square centimeter is defined as the area of a square with sides that are one centimeter long. The symbol for square centimeter is cm².

To calculate the area of a rectangle in square centimeters, you multiply its length in centimeters by its width in centimeters. For a square, since all sides are equal, you would multiply the side length by itself. For more complex shapes, the area can be found by dividing them into simpler shapes whose areas can be calculated.

Square centimeters are commonly used to measure the surface area of small objects or the area of a room or a piece of paper. It is a smaller unit than a square meter (m²), which is equal to 10,000 square centimeters. Therefore, when converting from square centimeters to square meters, you would divide by 10,000. Conversely, to convert from square meters to square centimeters, you would multiply by 10,000. This unit is widely used in various fields, including construction, design, and everyday measurements.
