  4. D.50 ሳ.ሜ2^2
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: C 30.25 ሳ.ሜ2^2

Why

The area of a square is calculated by squaring its side length: 5.5 cm×5.5 cm=30.25 cm25.5\text{ cm} \times 5.5\text{ cm} = 30.25\text{ cm}^2.

Question 2

1 ሳ.ሜ2^2 ስንት ሚ.ሜ2^2 ነው ?

  1. A.10 ሚ.ሜ2^2
  2. B.100 ሚ.ሜ2^2
  3. C.10,000 ሚ.ሜ2^2
  4. D.100,000ሚ.ሜ2^2
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: B 100 ሚ.ሜ2^2

Why

Since 1 cm=10 mm1\text{ cm} = 10\text{ mm}, the area conversion is 1 cm2=(10 mm)2=100 mm21\text{ cm}^2 = (10\text{ mm})^2 = 100\text{ mm}^2.

Question 3

የጎን ርዝመቱ 5 ሳ.ሜ ፣ ወርዱ 4 ሳ.ሜ እንዲሁም ቁመቱ 3 ሳ.ሜ የሆነ ሳጥን ይዘቱ ስንት ይሆናል ?

  1. A.500ሳ.ሜ3^3
  2. B.5,000ሳ.ሜ3^3
  3. C.500,000ሳ.ሜ3^3
  4. D.5,000 , 000 ሳ.ሜ3^3
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: D 5,000 , 000 ሳ.ሜ3^3

Why

Since 1 m=100 cm1\text{ m} = 100\text{ cm}, the volume conversion is 1 m3=1003 cm3=1,000,000 cm31\text{ m}^3 = 100^3\text{ cm}^3 = 1,000,000\text{ cm}^3. Thus, 5 m3=5,000,000 cm35\text{ m}^3 = 5,000,000\text{ cm}^3.
