20 to the second power is more commonly known as 202 or 20 squared. Squaring is calculated by taking two of the number and multiplying them together. In this case, 20x20=400 and so 20 to the 2nd power is 400.
Calculate the powers, and do the addition. For example, the second power of 4 is the same as 4 x 4 (you are supposed to multiply 4 by itself).
To write powers of a number you write the number, followed by the number of the power in superscript. For example, a number to the second power is x2, a number to the third power is x3 and so on. Squaring is taking a number to the second power. Thus 20 squared is 202, which equals 400.
