The surface area of a typical classroom floor is closest
a) 100 m2
b) 1 cm2
c) 10 m2
d) 1 m2

Answer would be C. Why A would be incorrect: 100m^2 is 100m × 100 m. That would be as big as a football field. Why B would be incorrect: 1cm^2 is 1cm × 1cm. You can use a regular 15 cm to measure a piece of paper with the length of 1cm each side. Why C would be correct: 1m^2 = 1m × 1m and it is also equals to 60cm × 60 cm. A 1 meter ruler = 60 cm = 4 times of your average 15 cm ruler. So, it is reasonable that a classroom is 10m by 10m in length and breadth. Why D would be incorrect: The same explanation applies to here as well. Things that can be measured with 1m × 1m is a square table so your classroom can't be that small to fit an average of 30 to 40 students in there. I hope my explanations were detailed and easy to understand. :)

The correct answer to this question is letter "C. 10 m^2." The surface area of a typical classroom floor is closest to 10 meters squared. Choice A is too big for a classroom. Choice B is very very small to be used as a classroom. Choice D is quite not that enough.
