because six "squared" is 36


The square numbers are 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49... etc. You can think of it as the area of a square with any number as the side (if the side is 1, the area is one; if the side is 3, the area is 9; if the side is 6, the area is 36), or you can think of it (more abstractly) as a number multiplied by itself (squared, as said above) (1*1=1, 2*2=4, 4*4=16, 6*6=36), or another more visual way would be to make a square out of dots (or squares) like this:
