Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To convert 1500 square feet to square centimeters, first convert feet to inches (1500 * 12^2, since there are 12 inches in a foot and we're dealing with square measurements), then convert inches to centimeters (2.54^2 for each square inch to square centimeter). The calculation is 1500 * 12^2 * 2.54^2 = 139,354,560 cm^2, which is 1.4×10^7 cm^2.
