Question

Would you put a raised two ( ^2 ) after the answer to the question: Find the area of the polygon?
FOR EXAMPLE: 258meters^2

Answer 1

YES

258meters²

Press and hold the Alt and type 253 on the number keys.

Answer 2

There's a better way to accomplish the same thing. You can get your computer keyboard to print the ASCII character for a squared variable or constant by doing this:

Before doing this, make sure the Num Lock on your keyboard is turned on.

1. Type the variable or constant which is to be squared.
2. Press the alt key on your keyboard.
3. While still holding down the alt key, enter 0178 or 253 from your 10-key calculator keyboard. It must be from the 10-key. The numbers on your regular keyboard will not work.

So 258meters^2 becomes 258 m². You don't need to write out the whole word meters, because the abbreviation m is understood to stand for meters.

You can do the same thing with a cubed variable or constant. But instead of entering 0178 or 253, enter 0179.

Here are some examples: x^3 = x³ , 4^3 = 4³

Here's a link to a website which will tell you how to make all sorts of ASCII characters. Use the Dec code number to create the characters. Make sure you scroll down the entire length of this window. There are two parts to this chart.

Answer 3

Area will always be measured in the unit (length)^2 per the definition of area

Answer 4

yes, area is in units of meters^2 (since it is a height in meters*length in meters, m*m = m^2)

Answer 5

It depends what information you are given for the promblem.
