GCSE Maths Practice: perimeter-and-area

Question 8 of 10

Units for area practice.

‹ ›

\( \begin{array}{l}\text{Which unit is correct for measuring area?}\end{array} \)

Choose one option:

Check if the quantity is linear (length) or square (area). Include squared units for area.

Area is measured in square units (cm², m², etc.) to reflect two-dimensional space. For a rectangle 3 cm × 4 cm, area = 12 cm². Recognizing the difference between linear units (cm, m) and square units (cm², m²) is essential in geometry and real-life applications like flooring or painting. Practice converting between units and ensure consistency.
