Do you know how to convert cm to m?

cm2 to m2?
 
yes but my teacher says when its m^4 its different than if its just m?
 
It is.

You have to convert each cm into m...

That's why I asked not only about converting cm to m, but also about converting cm2 to m2...
 
100 cm = 1 m
so (100 cm)2 = 10,000 cm2 = (1 m)2 = 1 m2

And so on until you figure out how many cm4 are in 1 m4 (1 "quartic" meter).
