What is one 10th of 100 m^2?

And how do you find the answer? Thank you.

Update:

Edit: I don't think it is just 10 m^2 since if you draw out a 100 x 100 grid, then a section of that grid measuring 10 x 10 covers much less than a 10th of the entire grid. It's only a 100th of the grid.

Update 2:

Edit: Oh I understand now, thanks SumDude and Philomel for explaining that.

    The English language (and possibly the math presentation) are confusing.  There is a difference between 100 square meters (a 10 x 10 pattern) and (100 meters) squared, which is how you are thinking in your comment.

    it is not a 100*100 grid, It is a 10*10 grid.

    1/10 of it is 10 m^2.

    By dividing by 10 ===> 100 m^2 : 10 = 10 m^2.
