Quick estimate in your head
For a rough answer, multiply by about 0.0001: 2 × 0.0001 ≈ 0.0002 m2, against the exact 0.0002 m2 (0.0% out). Good enough to check that a calculated result is sensible.
Common mistakes
The usual slip is using the factor the wrong way round. A square centimeter is smaller than a square meter, so the number of square meters must come out smaller than the number of square centimeters. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
