What is the value of (46^2)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 2116
46^2 = 46×46. Break the multiplication: 40×46 = 1840 and 6×46 = 276, so 1840+276 = 2116. Options A and B differ by ±10 (2106 and 2126) and represent common small arithmetic mistakes. Exam tip: use distributive splitting (e.g., 46=(40+6)) to compute squares mentally and avoid errors.
