Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Relation between the length and area 

The dimension of any quantity is defined as the extent of the measurement of a particular kind. There are three fundamental dimensions with the help of which the others are derived.

You know that the dimension of the length is L. You also know that Area=Length2.

02

Step 2. Calculation of the dimension of the area

The dimension of the area is

A=LLA=L2

Here, all the given options (cm2, square feet, and m2) represent the unit of the area.

Therefore, the answer will be that all the given options have the dimension L2.
