What is the square of 12?
To me that makes no sense so please help me
The square of a number is the number multiplied by itself.
12 * 12 = 144
But 12 has hno suare root
12 does have a square root: √12 = 3.461016
But that has nothing to do with the square of 12.

To find the square of a number, you need to multiply it by itself. In this case, you want to find the square of 12. So, you need to multiply 12 by 12.

Start by multiplying the digits in the ones place: 2 multiplied by 2 equals 4.
Write down the units digit 4 and carry over the tens digit 1.
Next, multiply the tens digits: 1 multiplied by 2 equals 2, plus the carried-over 1 equals 3.
Write down the tens digit 3 and carry over the hundreds digit 1.
Finally, multiply the hundreds digit by itself: 1 multiplied by 1 equals 1, plus the carried-over 1 equals 2.
Write down the hundreds digit 2.
Combining all the digits, we find that the square of 12 is 144.
