How can we determine the area of Greenland in square meters?


Answer 


To determine the area of Greenland according to given geographical coordinates,  it involves complex geographical calculation.


According to web,


Area of Greenland is 2,166,086 square kilometers.


To convert this to square meters, we multiply by 1,000,000

Because  1 km  = 1,000,000 square meters 

Bur 1 km = 1000 meters 

We wanr square meter 

==>>  1 km =  1000*1000=1000000 square meter.


According to this,


Area in square meters   =  2,166,086   *   1000000

==>>  2166086000000 square meter 

==>>  2.17 trillion square meter.


Area of Greenland is 2.17  trillion square meter   !!!!
