Question

evaluate.
$10^2 = \square$

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the definition of exponentiation

The expression \(a^n\) means multiplying \(a\) by itself \(n\) times. For \(10^2\), \(a = 10\) and \(n = 2\).

Step2: Calculate \(10^2\)

So, \(10^2=10\times10\)
\(10\times10 = 100\)

Answer:

\(100\)
