10 squared

If 10 squared equals 100, why doesn't 1 squared equal 10???

It does, dummy!

(mod 1)

You've seen the progression, right?

10^3 = 1000
10^2 = 100
10^1 = 10
10^0 = 1

I mean, that's all that is really happening. Don't think of squaring it to get the next number, think of raising exponent by one.

because 1 = 0.999...

Why doesn't 5^2 = 50?

forgot yer question mark

Thomas Hobbes once presented a paper to the Royal Society that argued pretty much the same thing.

1 x 1 = 1

10 x 10 = 100 because 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 ... = 100

so 1x1 = 1+1 = 2 :O

Oh dear god.  Make it stop.

1 squared = 1
10 squared = 10
100 squared = 10,000
1000 squared = 1,000,000

Notice the pattern that develops.  As you add zeroes one by one to the members of the left, the number of zeroes on the right-side counterpart has twice as many zeroes.  Therefore, since 10 squared has two zeroes, and 1 has one less zero than 10, 1 squared will have two fewer zeroes than 10 squared.  Therefore, 1 squared will have no zeroes.

Lies.

1² = -8 + 81/10 + 81/100 + 81/1000 + 81/10000 + ...

1^2 = 1 now fuck off show off

What a dumbass. Why do you translate 1x1 into 1+1? 1x1 means one 1. 10x10 means ten 10's. 2x1 means two 1's, which is equal to 1+1.

1s and 0s u shud al be reading bokes.

Do you have any examples that aren't facts?

The same reason why 100^2 ≠ 1000
