Hey there!
First solving the equation 2^3 . . .
To solve 2^3, multiply the number 2 three times:
2 x 2 x 2 = 8
To find area, multiply the two sides . . .
(Since a square has all sides the same length, multiply 8 x 8)
8 x 8 = 64 <-------
The area of the shape is 64 inches.
Hope this helps you.
Have a great day!
