Answer 2

Answer:

Hence the square of -5 is 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the information given in the above question,

The given value is -5.

We have to find the square of given value,

As we know that squaring of a number is to multiply the number by itself,

Given -5,

Squaring the above term we get,

$=-5^{2} \\=(-5)\times (-5)$

Multiply -5 into -5 we get, 25

When we multiply two product of -ve sign we get +ve, as (- x -) output will be +ve, also squaring of -ve number but output will be in +ve,

$=25$

Hence the square of -5 is 25.
