So you would like to raise 10 to the power of 2? In this article you can find the answer below. Here we explain how to do the calculation to raise 10 to the 2 power. At the end we will show how to calculate 10 to the power of 2 using a scientific calculator.
First and foremost, let’s explain the calculation. When you are looking to calculate 10 raised to 2 you are conducting mathematical operation “exponentiation” where 10 is referred to as a “BASE” and 2 is called an “EXPONENT”. When you raise 10 to the power of 2 all you are doing is multiplying the base by itself as many times as exponent. So in our example you multiply 10 by 10 times x 2 . Using numbers this can be expressed as 10 2 or 10^ 2.
The answer to what is 10 to the power of 2?
10 to the power of 2 expressed as 10 2or 10^ 2 or 10 x … x 10 (2 times) = 100
Again your answer is 100.
Raising 10 to the power of 2 with a scientific calculator
If you need to double check the answer and do not feel like solving exponentiation by hand on a paper, you can use a scientific calculator. Just enter 10, press on the button labeled XY and finally type 2 and press “=” equal sign.
