The difference between squaring and cubing a number is the exponent that is used.
When squaring a number, you are raising it to the power of 2, which is the same as multiplying the number by itself. For example, 3 squared (3^2) is equal to 3 multiplied by 3, which equals 9.
When cubing a number, you are raising it to the power of 3, which is the same as multiplying the number by itself twice. For example, 3 cubed (3^3) is equal to 3 multiplied by 3, which equals 9, and then multiplied by 3 again, which equals 27.
Therefore, squaring a number involves multiplying it by itself (multiplying by 2), while cubing a number involves multiplying it by itself twice (multiplying by 3).
