When your getting the area of a triangle, and you have gotten your anwser..

say your anwser was 24cm, is it 24cm cubed or 24cm squared?

If it was cubed it would be a 3 dimensional object.

You know, i always wondered about that and never asked my teacher?

If you put the sign at the end then its "Squared", unless its areas... in which its "square"...

Even Math is different from subject to subject, and we expect to understand language... :lol:
