For the 1st triangle, the area would be in cm^2.
The 2nd, the area in m^2.
If you wanted the sum of the two, you would have to convert one or the other and use either cm^2 or m^2 for both.

From Stochiometrics
100 cm = 1 meter,
1 cm = 10^(-2) meters
The area is expressed either on cm^2 or m^2
(1 cm)^2 = (10^(-2) meters)^2
1 cm^2 = 10^(-4) meters^2
or
Multiplying by 10^4
meters^2 = 10^4 cm^2 = 10,000 cm^2
Since the first triangle's measurements are shown in cm, the answer should be in cm^2
Since the second triangle's measurements are shown in m, the answer should be in m^2

definite section is continuously in m². It comes from multiplying base(for triangle), or length (for squre or rectangle), both actual one of that are in meters, cases precise (in meters), so m*m = m². it truly is ideal to the different unit of length used, km, ft, miles or inches.
