The simplest way is to type a "^" (called a "carat", it is the result of hitting SHIFT and the "6" key) and then "2". The result, "X^2", would be read as "X raised to the second power."
If you are trying to get a superscript 2 ("X2"), you would type the "2", then select it with your mouse (place your curser to the left of the 2, hold down the left mouse button, move your curser to the right of the 2, and then release the mouse button), and then format it to superscript. How you specifically do that depends on which version of Word you have - in Word 2002 (used on Windows XP), you would chose FORMAT from the Menu Bar, then FONT, and then chose the tick box marked "Superscript". For Word 2007, the concept would be the same but the execution a bit different.
If you want to show four squared, write the two as a superscript like this: 42
Without an "equals" word or sign somewhere, there is nothing to solve.You only have an expression, not an equation.
To write a small number such as a square sign on Microsoft word, hold down 'Ctrl', 'Alt' and press the '+' button.

If you are using a text application such as Microsoft Word, QuarkXpress, InDesign, etc., you can type "option 5" and that will give you an infinity sign. -Tonypro Or you can type alt+236 and it will show up as ∞
The symbol (a superscript 2) is not available on general keyboards. However, most text handling programs (Word etc) allow the input of the ascii code for special symbols of which the squared sign is one. These symbols should display in files using charsets ISO 8859-1 or UTF-8. For Windows operating systems, ensure the number lock is on , hold down the Alt key and using the numeric keypad type in 0178. The symbol 2 will appear in your document at the cursor position. Alternatively, use the 'Insert' menu heading and find symbols. A table will then be displayed in which you will find the 2 symbol. Click on the box containing this figure and then click on the Insert button.
Highlight the number you want to be an exponent. Right click on it and select "Fonts." Check the box that says "superscript" and select OK.
You can show squared (or at least I did on my computer) by using the ^ sign after the number you are squaring followed by a 2.(Eg. 3 squared would look like this: 3^2=9)This also works to cube a number.(Eg. 3 cubed would look like: 3^3=27)This symbol is located on my 6 button, it might be different on yours.(Not sure what they were going for here)22Or on a word document you can press control, shift and plus to get you into the correct mode. Then all lettering will be small and at the top of your writing. Like if you do the 'th' on the date.
It means to times a number by itself e.g. 9 squared = 9x9 = 81!
Times a number by itself to square a number. for example 12 x 12 = 144.To show that the answer (144) is squared in Answers, type 144, click on Superscript in the bar above, type the number 2 and a Superscript 2 is placed thus: 1442
