Sure, let’s solve the problem step by step.
1. Understand the Given Information:
- We are given the side length of a square garden which measures 250 centimeters.
2. Convert the Measurement from Centimeters to Meters:
- Since there are 100 centimeters in a meter, we convert the side length from centimeters to meters:
[tex]\[
\text{side length in meters} = \frac{\text{side length in centimeters}}{100} = \frac{250}{100} = 2.5 \text{ meters}
\][/tex]
3. Calculate the Area in Square Meters:
- The area [tex]\(A\)[/tex] of a square is given by the formula:
[tex]\[
A = \text{side length}^2
\][/tex]
- Substituting the side length in meters, we get:
[tex]\[
A = 2.5 \times 2.5 = 6.25 \text{ square meters}
\][/tex]
Therefore, the area of Ismail's small square garden in square meters is [tex]\(6.25 \, \text{m}^2\)[/tex].
