Oh honey, it's simple math. When you square a negative number, you're just multiplying it by itself. So if you square -5, you get 25. It's like taking a negative and turning it into a positive with a little math magic.

Say your question is -62 squared what it means is -62 x -62 when you times two negatives you get a positive so your answer in this case would be 3844
