In algebra, the square of x is written x2 and is defined as the product of x with itself: x × x. Taking the square is exponentiation with exponent two. If x is a positive real number, the value of x2 is equal to the area of

a (geometric) square of edge length x. If y = x2 and x ≥ 0, then x is the square root of y.
