Journal Entry 4: Laws of Exponents part 2

To square a number means to multiply a number with itself twice. To cube a number means to multiply a number by itself three times. Exponents relate to finding an area because exponents are used in the the formula for finding the area. For example, the formula for finding the area of a square is s^2, so if s is 4, then the problem is 4^2. so I am multiplying 4 by itself twice, so the answer is 16.
