Use multiplication to expand the expression below, then compute six squared

Answer 1

To expand the expression using multiplication, let's denote the expression as \(a(b + c)\). If we assume \(a = 6\), \(b = 6\), and \(c = 0\), we can expand it as follows:

\[ 6(6 + 0) = 6 \times 6 + 6 \times 0 = 36 + 0 = 36 \]

Now, to compute six squared, we calculate:

\[ 6^2 = 6 \times 6 = 36 \]

So, the computed value of six squared is \(36\).
