$100000000$ $100000000$ (8 zeroes)

${(10^{4})}^{2}$ $(10^4)^2$

When you do an exponent to an exponent, that means you multiply the two exponents.

So this becomes:
$10^{4 \cdot 2}$ $10^(4*2)$

Now simplify:
$10^{8}$ $10^8$

And $10^{8}$ $10^8$ means you multiply $10$ $10$ by itself $8$ $8$ times, so now it has $8$ $8$ zeroes:
$100000000$ $100000000$

Hope this helps!
