<u><em>Explanation:</em></u> The square of any number can be obtained by multiplied the number by itself. <u>In other words:</u> square of x = x</span>²<span> = x * x
For the given, we want to get the square of 8. This means that we will <u>multiply 8 by itself.</u> Therefore: square of 8 = 8</span>²<span> = 8 * 8 = 64
We have been given a number. We are asked to find the square of our given number.
We know that the square means a quantity multiplied by itself. When a number (a) is multiplied by itself, we can write that number by raising to second power as:
Since we need to find the square of 8, so we can write it as:
