1 AWG = 42.41 mm²
Full precision:42.41 mm²
Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 1 awg to mm², we multiply by 1 because one american wire gauge equals exactly 1 mm².
1 american wire gauge = 1 mm²
Since each american wire gauge contains 1 mm², we multiply our value by this factor:
1 × 1 = 42.41 mm²
So 1 awg = 42.41 mm².
Quick check: 42.41 ÷ 1 = 1 awg
Example Conversions
Example 1: 1 AWG = 42.41 mm²
1 × 1 = 42.41
1 × 1 = 42.41
Example 2: 5 AWG = 5 mm²
5 × 1 = 5
5 × 1 = 5
Example 3: 10 AWG = 5.261 mm²
10 × 1 = 5.261
10 × 1 = 5.261
