36 or 62

Here's how I did it:

Explanation:

6 squared means 62.

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

Instead, it means multiplying itself by itself.

Therefore, 62=66=36

Hope this helps!

You would write 62 because a square is a number to the exponent 2.

The solution would be 36 because a number to an exponent n is equal to the number multiplied by itself n times. Thus, 62=66=36.
