The exponent only applies to the unit of measure, not the numerical value. For example, in 12 ft², the exponent 2 indicates 'square feet', but it does not mean the number 12 is squared.
Conditions: Used when expressing area measurements.

Conditions: Used when expressing area measurements.
Area is measured in square units because it represents the amount of two-dimensional surface a shape covers. It is quantified by counting how many unit squares fit inside the region.
Conditions: Applies to 2-D surface coverage.; The chosen length unit determines the square-unit label.
