Math Problem Statement

Convert the following

Convert 5.92 x 10^-3 m² to mm².

Solution

We need to convert 5.92×103m25.92 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m}^2 to mm2\text{mm}^2.

Conversion Steps:

  1. Conversion between meters and millimeters:

    • 1m=1000mm1 \, \text{m} = 1000 \, \text{mm}, which means 1m2=(1000mm)2=106mm21 \, \text{m}^2 = (1000 \, \text{mm})^2 = 10^6 \, \text{mm}^2.
  2. Multiply the given value by 10610^6 to convert to mm2\text{mm}^2: 5.92×103m2=5.92×103×106mm25.92 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m}^2 = 5.92 \times 10^{-3} \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}^2 Simplifying the powers of 10: 5.92×103mm2=5920mm25.92 \times 10^3 \, \text{mm}^2 = 5920 \, \text{mm}^2

Thus, 5.92×103m25.92 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m}^2 is equal to 5920 mm².
