3636 or 6^262

Here's how I did it:

Explanation:

66 squared means 6^262.

Be careful! "Squared" or "to the power of two" does not mean times 2!

Instead, it means multiplying itself by itself.

Therefore, 6^2 = 6 * 6 = 3662=66=36

Hope this helps!

You would write 6^262 because a square is a number to the exponent 22.

The solution would be 3636 because a number to an exponent nn is equal to the number multiplied by itself nn times. Thus, 6^2 =6*6=3662=66=36.
