Question

3.2 to the power of 2 is what?

Answer 1

$3.2^2=3.2\cdot3.2=\boxed{10.24}$

Answer 2

Multiply it by itself x times depending on the number of the exponent, so here the exponent is 2, so multiply 3.2 by itself 2 times so you get 3.2*3.2, You can then solve from there so 10.24 is your answer.
