I have always wondered the reasoning behind the change in magnitude
between for converting multi-dimensional units as opposed to single
dimensional units.

for example

1m = 100 cm

however

1m^2 = 10,000 cm^2

Why is this? how can i visualize it?

Do you have a *** of graph paper?

How many units make an inch?

How many square units make up a square inch?
