The degree "square" is often used when writing various formulas in the exact sciences. For example, in mathematics. Below we will look at all the ways to raise a number to a power in text editors. What tips will help you cope with the task? How difficult is it to do? All this will be de alt with further. Even a novice PC user is able to master the skills of raising numbers to a power. In our case, squared.
Symbol entry
The first scenario is to work with special additional characters. Usually such a technique helps to indicate the degree of a number where more "familiar to the eye" executions are impossible. For example, in a notepad.
To cope with the task, the user will have to:
- Write the number to which you want to assign the degree of "square".
- Put a ^ sign at the end of the entry. This can be done using button 6 at the top of the keyboard.
- Insert the number 2 after the "cap"
Hereand all. The record of type a^2 will turn out. This is the first way to express the degree in electronic documents.
Simple notation
However, she is far from being the only one of her kind. In mathematics, one can refer to squaring (as well as to any other power) in another way. How exactly?
By multiplying this or that number by itself. Under such circumstances, you will need to do this:
- Write the number to be raised to the "square" power.
- Put a sign. It stands for multiplication.
- Repeat the first number.
It should look like 33. Such a notation can be considered exponentiation.
Text formatting
How to exponentiate "squared"? It's pretty easy. The main thing is to know what to do. The task at hand, as it was already possible to convince, has a lot of different solutions. And then we will look at more "pleasant" tricks.
For example, the problem can be solved by properly formatting the existing text. A guide to bringing an idea to life has the following form:
- Put the number 2 at the end of the number being raised to the power of squares.
- Select the corresponding element. Only he is needed.
- Go to "Format" - "Font".
- Check the "Superscript" checkbox.
- Confirm changes take effect.
Fast, simple and very convenient. Thus, users canspecial trouble to raise numbers and even words to any degree. Visually, the result of this scenario is more pleasing than the previously discussed methods.
Paste Special
The degree "Square" can be inserted as a separate symbol if desired, but in reality 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 it will not be difficult to raise a number to a power.
In our case, you need to perform the following operations:
- Go to a text editor and place the cursor where the degree is to be printed.
- Go to the "Insert" tab. It is located on the Word toolbar at the top of the line.
- Select the "Symbol" option.
- Find the number 2, shifted towards the upper border of the "cell". For example, you can easily find the degree symbol "Square" in the Vani font set.
- Double-click on the thumbnail of the selected symbol.
- Close the small dialog in the middle of the text editor.
This arrangement allows you to insert the "square" symbol into the text, but it does not occur very often in real life. This is due to the difficulty of finding the required sign. In addition, users can use simpler and more versatile tricks.
Windows to the rescue
Degree"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. We have already considered one of the scenarios for the development of events.
Besides "Word" services, you can use Windows utilities. For this you will need:
- Go to the "Symbol table". It is proposed to find it through the "Start" menu.
- In the window that appears, find the symbol "Square degree". The best way to do this is with the Vani font set.
- Select the corresponding character with the mouse cursor, then click on the "Select" button.
- Click on "Copy".
What's next? You can open a text document to be edited, and then insert the degree symbol in any known and convenient way.
This is an alternative to the previously suggested instructions. It is not so common, but you should not forget about it.
Composing formulas
The degree of "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.
- Markline Microsoft Equation.
- Press the button with degrees. You need to click on the formula with the image of the free field in the upper right side.
- Write the number to be raised to the "square" power.
- Indicate the number 2 in the field at the top of the number.
