The degree of "square" is often used when writing various formulas in the exact sciences. For example, in mathematics. Below we will consider all the ways to raise a power to a power in text editors. What tips will help to cope with the task? How hard is it to do? To understand all of this will be further. Even a novice PC user can master the power of raising numbers. In our case, itβs squared.
Symbolic notation
The first scenario is working with special additional characters. Typically, this technique helps to indicate the degree of the number where more "familiar to the eye" performance is impossible. For example, in a notebook.
To cope with the task, the user will:
- Write the number to which you want to assign the degree of "square".
- Put a ^ at the end of the entry. This can be done using the button 6 at the top of the keyboard.
- Insert the number 2 after the cap.
That's all. The result is a record of type a ^ 2. This is the first way to express degrees in electronic documents.
The simplest entry
However, it is far from the only one of its kind. In mathematics, one can point to squaring (as well as to any other power) otherwise. How exactly?
By multiplying this or that number by itself. Under such circumstances, you will need to do this:
- Write a quadratic number.
- Put a * sign. It stands for multiplication.
- Repeat the first number.
It should be something like 3 * 3. Such a record may be considered an exponentiation.
Text formatting
How to raise to the power of "squared"? This is pretty easy. The main thing is to know what to do. The task as it was already possible to convince, a lot of different solutions. And further we will consider more "pleasant" receptions.
For example, the task can be solved by properly formatting the existing text. Guidelines for translating ideas into reality take the following form:
- Put 2 at the end of the power of the squares.
- Select the corresponding item. Only he is needed.
- Go to "Format" - "Font".
- Put a checkmark next to "Superscript".
- Confirm the entry into force of the changes.
Fast, easy and very convenient. Thus, users can raise numbers and even words to any degree without much hassle. Visually, the result of this alignment is more pleasant than the methods considered earlier.
Special insert
The degree "Square" can be inserted as a separate symbol, if desired, but in practice such a technique is almost never found. Word has a feature called Insert. If it is used correctly, the user will be able to correctly format text documents. And raising a number to a power is not difficult.
In our case, it is necessary to perform the following operations:
- Go into a text editor and set the cursor to the place of printing degree.
- Go to the Insert tab. It is located on the Word toolbar at the top of the line.
- Select the option "Symbol".
- Find the number 2, shifted towards the upper boundary of the "cell". For example, you can easily find the square symbol in a Vani font set.
- Double-click on the thumbnail of the selected character.
- Close a small dialog in the middle of a text editor.
Such a layout allows you to insert the symbol of the "square" in the text, but it is not found very often in real life. This is due to the difficulties of finding the necessary sign. In addition, users can take advantage of simpler and more universal techniques.
Windows to the rescue
The degree of "squares" is proposed to be written by inserting special characters. We are talking about the number 2 with a decrease and an offset to the top of the line. One of the options for the development of events we have already considered.
In addition to the "Word" services, you can resort to Windows utilities. This will require:
- Go to the "Symbol Table". It is proposed to find it through the Start menu.
- In the window that appears, find the symbol "Degree of square". This is best done with the Vani font set.
- Select the corresponding character with the mouse cursor, and then click on the "Select" button.
- Click on "Copy".
What's next? You can open the text document to be edited, and then insert the degree symbol in any known and convenient way.
This is an alternative to the previously proposed instructions. It is not so common, but you should not forget about it.
We make formulas
The degree "Square" users can insert into text documents using mathematical formulas. In Word, this is done in just a few minutes. This is the best solution to the task.
The algorithm of actions will be as follows:
- Open Word and go to the Insert tab.
- Expand the list of available sub-items, and then select "Object" there.
- Mark line Microsoft Equation.
- Press the power button. You need to click on the formula with the image of the free field in the upper right part.
- Write the number raised to the power of "square".
- Indicate the number 2 in the box at the top of the number.
