Draw a 3 cm x 3 cm square inside a 10 cm x 10 cm square and put a footnote that it is 1/10 the size of a square foot inside a square meter.

Draw a set of coordinate axes using only the first quadrant.
Mark off 400 = units on each axis. Locate A(0,12), B(12,0),
C(1212) and O(0,0). Draw lines AC and BC. Then OABC represents a square foot.
Now locate the points D(0,39.4),E(39.4,0) and F(39.4,39.4).
Draw lines DF and EF. Then ODEF represents a square meter accurate to 0.0009 m^2.

The standard size paper is 8.5 X 11 piece of paper.
An inch = 2.54 cm.
12 inches *2.54 cm/inch = 30.48 cm
There are 100 cm in a meter.
Therefore one square should be 30.48/100*100% of
30.48 % of the other square on each side.
If one square is 5 inches by 5 inches, then the other square is
5Inches * 30.48% 1.524 inches on each side
Meter squared reduced to 5 inches on each side. Square foot reduced to 1.524 inches on each side.

the best thing I could think of would be to scale it down like make a square centiameter and inside it 1/10 of a foot squared lol like 1.2 inches on all sides.

Use scaling method. That's how people use that to represent map.
