How to get a perfect square?

A perfect square is the product of a number and itself.

As you can see in the example, 16 is a square number. Then let's try to get 16.

To get 16 we can use the difference:

20 - 4

So the first therm needs to be equal to 20, and the second equal to 4.

To write 20 in scientific notation we have:

[tex]2*10^1[/tex]

To write 4 in in scientific notation:

[tex]4*10^0[/tex]

Then the operation:

[tex]2*10^1 - 4*10^0 = 20 - 4 = 16[/tex]

Gives a square number.
