Definition of Square Centimetre
A square centimetre is a metric unit used to measure area.
It is equal to the area of a square with a side length of \(1 \text{ cm}\).
We use square centimetres to measure small areas such as those we might draw on paper.
We use the symbol, \(\text{cm}^2\) for square centimetres.
For example, the area of the front of my phone is \(144 \text{ cm}^2\).
