What is the answer of 20 to the power of 2?

The power of any number represents how many times we use the given number in a multiplication.  We will solve the question by using the multiplication rule of exponents and power.

Answer: The answer of 20 to the power of 2 is 400.

Let's use rules of exponents for getting the solution.

Explanation:

We have given, 20 to the power of 2.

We know that the rules for exponentiation state that if x is a positive integer and y is any real number, then y^x can be represented as:

y^x = y × y × … × y (x times)

Hence, 20 to the power of 2. can be written as 20².

Where 2 is the power, whereas 20 is called the base of an expression.

Therefore, 20² = 20 × 20 = 400

Hence, the answer of 20 to the power of 2 is  400.
