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 yx can be represented as:
yx = 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.
