Expanded form is when you just write it out.
so 9 cubed becomes:
9×9×9
and 20 squared becomes:
20×20
the exponent tells you how many times to multiply that number by itself. so, whenever it asks for expanded form, you just write the number how ever many times the exponent tells you to and multiply them all.
53 is not a perfect square and whereby not using a calculator, 53 is between the perfect squares of 49 and 64. Hence the answer should be between 7 and 8. since 53 is closer to 49, then the answer should be close to 7. use a calculator to verify
