which of these choices shows how to correctly evaluate ?
0.06² = 0.06 × 0.06 = 0.0036
0.06² = 0.06 × 2 = 0.12
0.06² = 0.06 × 0.06 = 0.36
0.06² = 0.06 × 0.06 = 0.036

Explanation:

Step1: Define squaring a number

Squaring means multiplying a number by itself: $a^2 = a \times a$

Step2: Apply to 0.06

$0.06^2 = 0.06 \times 0.06$

Step3: Calculate the product

$0.06 \times 0.06 = 0.0036$

Answer:

A. $0.06^2 = 0.06 \times 0.06 = 0.0036$
