  2. Square (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_(algebra)

    5⋅5, or 5 2 (5 squared), can be shown graphically using a square. Each block represents one unit, 11, and the entire square represents 5⋅5, or the area of the square. In mathematics, a square is the result of multiplying a number by itself. The verb "to square" is used to denote this operation.

    One brass is exactly 100 square feet (9.29 m 2) area ... This translates to a hoppus foot being equal to 1.273 cubic feet (2,200 in 3; 0.0360 m 3).

  4. Cube (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_(algebra)

    The cube of a number or any other mathematical expression is denoted by a superscript 3, for example 2 3 = 8 or (x + 1) 3. The cube is also the number multiplied by its square: n 3 = n × n 2 = n × n × n. The cube function is the function x ↦ x 3 (often denoted y = x 3) that maps a number to its cube. It is an odd function, as

  5. Area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area

    Although there are 10 mm in 1 cm, there are 100 mm 2 in 1 cm 2. Calculation of the area of a square whose length and width are 1 metre would be: 1 metre × 1 metre = 1 m 2. and so, a rectangle with different sides (say length of 3 metres and width of 2 metres) would have an area in square units that can be calculated as: 3 metres × 2 metres ...

  6. Cube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube

    A cube is a special case of rectangular cuboid in which the edges are equal in length. [1] Like other cuboids, every face of a cube has four vertices, each of which connects with three congruent lines. These edges form square faces, making the dihedral angle of a cube between every two adjacent squares being the interior angle of a square, 90 ...

  7. Square–cube law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squarecube_law

    For example, a cube with a side length of 1 meter has a surface area of 6 m 2 and a volume of 1 m 3. If the sides of the cube were multiplied by 2, its surface area would be multiplied by the square of 2 and become 24 m 2. Its volume would be multiplied by the cube of 2 and become 8 m 3. The original cube (1 m sides) has a surface area to ...

  8. Fourth power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_power

    [1] Every positive integer can be expressed as the sum of at most 19 fourth powers; every integer larger than 13792 can be expressed as the sum of at most 16 fourth powers (see Waring's problem ). Fermat knew that a fourth power cannot be the sum of two other fourth powers (the n = 4 case of Fermat's Last Theorem ; see Fermat's right triangle ...
