The square centimeter (cm²) is commonly used for small everyday objects. A standard postage stamp measures about 4 cm², while a smartphone screen ranges from 80-120 cm². This unit is particularly useful in medical imaging (tumor sizes) and school science projects. The square inch (in²) is commonly used in the United States for small surface measurements. A standard post-it note is about 6 in², while a sheet of letter-sized paper is 93.5 in². This unit is prevalent in printing, crafts, and engineering drawings.
To convert between Square Centimeter (cm²) and Square Inch (in²), use the following formulas:
1 Square Centimeter (cm²) = 0.15500031000062 Square Inch (in²)
1 Square Inch (in²) = 6.451599999999999 Square Centimeter (cm²)
1 cm² = 1 * 0.15500031000062 in² = 0.15500031000062 in²
10 cm² = 10 * 0.15500031000062 in² = 1.5500031000062 in²
50 cm² = 50 * 0.15500031000062 in² = 7.750015500031 in²
100 cm² = 100 * 0.15500031000062 in² = 15.500031000062 in²
500 cm² = 500 * 0.15500031000062 in² = 77.50015500031 in²
1000 cm² = 1000 * 0.15500031000062 in² = 155.00031000062 in²
