To convert square centimeters (\( \text{cm}^2 \)) to square millimeters (\( \text{mm}^2 \)), we use the relationship between centimeters and millimeters.

1. **Understanding the Units**:
   - \(1 \ \text{cm} = 10 \ \text{mm}\).

2. **Conversion of Area**:
   - Since area is a two-dimensional measurement, we square the conversion factor:
   \[
   1 \ \text{cm}^2 = (10 \ \text{mm}) \times (10 \ \text{mm}) = 100 \ \text{mm}^2
   \]

Therefore, to convert any value from \(\text{cm}^2\) to \(\text{mm}^2\), you multiply the value by 100.

### Example Conversion
- If you have \( 5 \ \text{cm}^2 \):
  \[
  5 \ \text{cm}^2 \times 100 = 500 \ \text{mm}^2
  \]

### Summary
- \(1 \ \text{cm}^2 = 100 \ \text{mm}^2\).
