Given equation: 5 to the power of 2 + 8 divided by 2. First, before we answer this, let's convert it to numerical form. => 5 to the 2th power = 5^2 => 8 divided by 2 = 8 / 2 Final equation = 5^2 + 8 / 2=> 5 ^ 2 = (5 * 5) => 25 + 8 / 2=> 25 + (8 /2) => 25 + 4 => 29. Thus the answer to the given question or equation is 29.<span> </span>
