What is the value of (52^2)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 2704
We need to find the square of 52: \(52^2=52\times52\). Thus, \(52\times52=52\times(50+2)=2600+104=2704\), so option D is correct. Option A, 2604, can result from a common addition error during multiplication. Exam tip: check a square using \((a+b)^2\) or the distributive property.
