===About Centimetres Squared===
: '''Centimetres squared''' are shortened to cm<sup>2</sup> with with a lower case c and a lower case m and an [[indices]] of 2.
: A '''centimetre squared''' is the [[area]] of a [[square]] with sides of 1cm each. Since a [[centimetre]] is 0.01 [[metre]]s then a '''centimetre squared''' is 0.01 x 0.01 [[Metres Squared|metres squared]] (0.0001m<sup>2</sup>).
