Answer 4

To square a number, you multiply it by itself. To square 6, for example, we multiply \(6*6\)

Answer 5

Taking a square root is the same operation, in reverse: we are finding the number that we can square to get the number we started with. The square root of 36 is 6, because \(6*6=36\)

Answer 13

And cubing a number is squaring it and then multiplying it by itself again. Hopefully you can visualize this. 10 cubed is 10*10*10 = 1000, and if you made a stack of 10 10x10 layers, you would have 1000.
