$1m^3$

convert both units into metres:

$1m = 100 cm -> 1m^2 = (100^2)cm^2 = 10^4 cm^2$

$10^12 cm^2 = (10^12)/(10^4) m^2 = 10^8 m^2$

$2.0 * 10^12 cm^2 = 2.0 * 10^8 m^2$

$5 * 10^-9m = 5 * 10^-9 m$

to find the volume (3D), multiply the area of film that the oil covers (2D) by the thickness of the oil (1D).

$V = 2.0*10^8 m^2 * 5 * 10^-9m$

$2*5 = 10$

$10^8 * 10^-9 = 10^(8-9) = 10^-1$

$2.0*10^8 * 5 * 10^-9 = 10 * 10^-1$

$10 ^ 10-1 = 10^1 * 10^-1 = 10^(1-1) = 10^0$

$10^0 = 1$

$V = 1m^3$
