The difference between squaring and cubing a number is??

1 answer

Squaring a number is raising it to the power of 2, which means multiplying the number by itself.
For example, squaring 3 would give 3^2 = 3 * 3 = 9.

Cubing a number is raising it to the power of 3, which means multiplying the number by itself twice.
For example, cubing 3 would give 3^3 = 3 * 3 * 3 = 27.

Therefore, the main difference between squaring and cubing a number is the power to which the number is raised - 2 for squaring and 3 for cubing.
