I was wondering what the two exponent means. I know it has to do something with area.
It means two things, it can mean the number before it is, is multiplied by itself so the number is squared - this is if it comes after a number. For example. 62 = 36
But if the 2 comes after a length for example cm2 , it means the area is squared so if you have a area that is 2 cm X 2 cm, the area is 4 cm2
