Answer

The best unit of measure to express the area of a dollar bill would be square centimeters.

Work Step by Step

The best unit of measure to express the area of a dollar bill would be square centimeters. A dollar bill is several centimeters long and a few centimeters wide, so square centimeters would be the best choice to express the area of a dollar bill.
